<b>Usage:</b><br>

<a name="showscreen">
<p><h2>showscreen</h2>
This is a simple program written by Bernhard Ehlers &lt;<a href="mailto:behlers@t-online.de">behlers@t-online.de</a>&gt;. You can use it to display your Choose-OS bootup
screen or any screendump file on a terminal. 
It has two arguments. First one is the background file and second
(optional) the map file.
The '<i>-view</i>' option was based on this utility.<br>
<b>Usage:</b>
<ul>
<dl>
	<dt><i><b>showscreen</b> /boot/chos.background <b>[</b>/boot/chos.map<b>]</b></i>
	<p>
	<dt><i><b>showscreen</b> any_screendump_file</i>
</dl>
</ul>

<p><h2>xshowscreen</h2>
This is a simple script that runs showscreen in color_xterm with vga font.
