[WinLoad, Version 3.1: Copyright (c) 1991-94 by HLS, Herzogenrath, Germany]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(NO WARRANTY: see disclaimer below)
DESCRIPTION
===========
WinLoad automatically loads DOS- and Windows-Applications after Windows has
been booted. It does this "in the background", that means that you can begin
your work immediately after Windows has been booted.
WinLoad must be loaded at start time of Windows (minimized!). It then starts
applications from a program list in the given order.
When WinLoad has loaded an application, it waits a short (user definable)
time before it loads the next application.
For each application in the list it is possible to select it's name and
parameters, it's initial window size (minimized, normal or maximized) and
the delay time (the time WinLoad waits before loading the application).
The programs from the list can be loaded after(!) the Windows boot
process has finished.
The command line of the next application along with the initial window
size and the delay time are displayed in WinLoad's main window.
WinLoad terminates automatically after all applications have been loaded.
INSTALLATION
============
To do this only the following is required:
* copy the files WINLOAD.EXE, WINLOAD.TXT and WINLOAD.HLP to the directory
where you want to have them (WINLOAD.EXE and WINLOAD.HLP must be in the
same directory in order to access online help),
* make a copy of your current WIN.INI (after successfull installation of
WINLOAD you can delete the copy!),
* add WINLOAD.EXE as usual to one of your program groups (only needed for
initialization or changes of setup).
Prepare WinLoad to load your applications
=========================================
Start WinLoad as a usual Windows application, e.g. by double clicking on the
WinLoad icon in the program managers group window. The WinLoad main window
and then the SetUp dialog box should appear on the screen.
You should then start the Windows Help Application by pressing the "Help"
button of the SetUp dialog box or selecting "Help" from WinLoad main
window's system menu; detailed information will be presented to you!
