SWAP 5.00 HAS BEEN RELEASED WITH FEATURES GALORE!!!
The new features added to this version are amazing!!!
Swap now has a unique installer to handle new desktop and logo
images!!! Swap just adds the new image to it's appropriate queue.
To get Swap to install a new logo image simply type:
SWAP -IL C:\mydir\filename.ext
To get Swap to install a new desktop image use:
SWAP -ID C:\mydir\filename.ext
where mydir is the directory where the new image is and filename.ext
is the filename of the new image WITH extention.
To get Swap to cycle your Desktop Images just use:
SWAP -D
The Desktop images should be located in c:\windows
Unfortunatly Swap still requires ATTRIB.EXE to be in your
c:\windows\command directory. If you have installed Windows 95 to a
different directory then just make the following directories:
C:\WINDOWS
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
Place all your Desktop Images in the C:\WINDOWS directory and copy
ATTRIB.EXE to C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND. Then you can still fully use the
features of Swap
ADDING LOGOS TO THE QUEUE:
Adding logo's couldn't be easier!!! Just use:
SWAP -IL C:\mydir\filename.ext
where mydir is the directory that the new logo image is and filename.ext
is the filename of the new image WITH extention!
eg. to add NEWLOGO.BMP which is in D:\NEW to the logo queue type:
SWAP -IL D:\NEW\NEWLOGO.BMP
ADDING DESKTOPS TO THE QUEUE:
This is a similar process to adding logo's. Just use:
SWAP -ID C:\mydir\filename.ext
where mydir is the directory that the new desktop image is and
filename.ext is the filename of the new image WITH extention!
eg. to add A-DESK.BMP which is in C:\DESKTOP to the logo queue type:
SWAP -ID C:\DESKTOP\A-DESK.BMP
NOTE: The desktops being added MUST be in Windows BMP format. GIF and JPG
formats are currently not supported by Windows.
To get SWAP to change your Desktops just enter:
SWAP -D
in your Autoexec.bat file.
DISCLAMER:
I have tried and tested this program on MY system and everything works
however I cannot take responsibility for any side effects this program
may cause.
WHAT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG???
Well nothing really can go wrong with Swap but is something does go
wrong with Swap then it will pipe up with an error message.
Some of the error messages are listed below. If the error doesn't
appear then E-Mail the message to masters96@geocities.com and I
will try and get back to you with a suggestion.
You can also try:
SWAP -H
This will come up with a status screen like this:
*************************************************************************
** Swap 5.0 Information Page **
*************************************************************************
Windows Directory - c:\windows
Number of Logos found - 22
Number of Desktops found - 5
If this identifies your windows directory and the number of logos and
Desktop images then everything should run fine. Check that the images
are not currently open or in use in a window.
ERROR MESSAGES.
FATAL ERROR - Logo.sys does not exist in the C:\ directory or cannot
be accessed. Try running SWAP later and making sure
ATTRIB.EXE is in C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.
Load Checksum Error - This file has been tampered with! Delete it
straight away! run a Full test with a current Anti-Virus
program. The file may not be infected but its not worth
the risk. Obtain a different copy of SWAP from a different
source.
This product is E-Mailware. If you like it and continue using it then E-Mail
us at masters96@geocities.com and we will notify you of updates and give you
hints on how to use Swap more effectively (if possible :-).
