INTRODUCTION
Mark30 is a Windows 3.0 utility that marks old Windows applications
so that they will run under Windows 3.0 without the Windows 3.0
warning message. This utility does no checking of the application
being marked, except to verify that it is a Windows application.
There are two flags in the header of a Windows executable file
(called the "new executable format"). The memory flag indicates
that the application makes clean use of memory, thus enabling it to
run under Windows 3.0 in protected mode. The font flag indicates
whether the application can handle the proportional system font in
Windows 3.0. Mark30 allows you to set and unset both of these
flags.
Many Windows 2.x application work fine under Windows 3.0, but many
do not. If you have a Windows 2.x application that works under
Windows 3.0, and you are tired of the annoying warning message
Windows 3.0 gives you each time you run your program, Mark30 will
save you.
IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!
Just because a Windows 2.x application APPEARS to work under
Windows 3.0 don't assume it is completely compatible, there may be
situations where the application will fail!!!!
USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK! Kindlco Software Systems and
Charles E. Kindel, Jr. ARE NOT responsible for any damages caused
by the use of this program.
USAGE
To use Mark30, simply start it as you would any Windows
application. When it starts up you are presented with a file
selection list box, two check boxes, and several buttons.
Select a file either by typing a name in the edit control, or by
clicking on a name in the list box. You may also change
directories and drives as you normally would in a Windows
application.
Once you have a file selected, choose the flags you want set. The
font flag can only be set if the memory flag is set.
Press the "Mark File" button to mark the application. If the
application you choose is not a Windows application a message box
will appear informing you of this. If the application IS a Windows
program a warning dialog box will appear asking you to confirm your
choice.
Once a file is marked, it can be "unmarked" by reversing the check
boxes.
That's all there is to it!
