Behold it is written:

------------- begin WINJOY.BAT ---------

@echo off
cd\
if exist .\windows\win.com goto awshucks
if not exist .\windows\win.com goto congrats
:awshucks
echo This program will not run on the same hard drive as Microsoft Windows.
echo Please reformat your hard drive and try again.  Have a nice day!
goto end_1
:congrats
echo  Congratulations! You have a good operating system!
:end_1
echo.

--------- end WINJOY.BAT ----------------

P.S.  Anyone wanting a compiled EXE version of the program above may write
to me privately.  The compiled WINJOY.EXE is 8541 bytes and was produced
using the BLDRLITE batch file compiler and using the same source code as
seen above.
