Of course, w/o a Libretto to test it on, I have no idea if it works. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/libdos.zip power.exe - program I wrote years ago for my L50 and works fine. This program will also work on any PC that supports APM. Simply displays current power status under DOS for the Libretto. Uses APM BIOS calls. panel.exe - Just wrote this one and have no way to test. Supposed to check lcd panel status, then toggle it the other way turning it on/off. Uses Libretto BIOS calls reverse-engineered years ago by some Japanese dude. Let me know if you try it - naturally, backup your HD and the usual disclaimers of not being responsible for damage to your Libretto apply. However, they are tiny programs written in Turbo C++ 1.0 and are only a page long, so there isn't much in there that I can think of that'll wreck a Libretto... david =) ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
