**********
You should copy the BYTEWB.EXE and WINCOMP.DAT files to your hard disk. They should be together in whatever subdirectory you choose to place them in. Then use the "NEW" function from the "FILE" menu entry on the Window's main desktop to add the file's icon to the desktop.
**********
The WINCOMP.DAT file contains comparison information derived in the BYTE Lab from running the Windows benchmarks on other computer systems. You can use your own favorite editor to add or remove entries from this file..
The file consists of a series of lines terminated by carriage return/line feeds. The format of the file is as follows:
System description (up to 60 characters)
System name (up to 20 characters)
Pixels results
Lines results
Rectangles results
Ellipse results
Polygons results
Bitblt results
Local memory results
Global memory results
Sequential File I/O results
Random file I/O results
Textout results
Drawtext results
Next system description (up to 60 characters)
...and so on...
Each of the "results" fields above consist of a decimal number in ASCII form. The program in its current form can hold descriptions for up to 4 systems. (You can alter the source code to handle more.) Also, the program interprets an asterisk in the first position of the "system description" field to mean the end of file.
