- 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!
