- Screen Play - Random Screen Archive Manager Version 1.0
-
- Screen play is a simple program that didn't take a lot of time to create,
- but replaces some of those ShareWare versions floating around out there.
- It is designed to be setup and then requires no additional thought. PKZip
- or ARJ is required to run Screen Play. Contact PKWare Inc., 9025 N.
- Deerwood Dr., Brown Deer, WI 53223 for additional information. Contact
- Robert K. Jung (ARJ), 2606 Village Road West, Norwood, MA 02062 for
- additional information.
-
- Copy SCRNPLAY (Screen Play) to your windows directory for ALL operation.
-
- What does it do? Essentially, Screen Play stores all of your BMP files
- used for Wallpaper in an archive file called WALLPLAY. It also stores all
- or your SCR files used for Screen Savers in an archive file called SAVEPLAY.
- It logs the file names in two INI files called WALLPLAY.INI and SAVEPLAY.INI.
- When Screen Play is run, it randomly selects a file name from the INI file
- and then extracts it from the archive file as WALLPLAY.BMP and SAVEPLAY.SCR.
- That's it. Nothing fancy.
-
- But, to get it to work randomly, it must be run before each window's
- session. I use the following simple batch file for starting it.
- This file has been included as a sample, just edit the Window's directory
- to match your setup.
-
- W.BAT
-
- @ECHO OFF
- C:
- CD\WIN31
- SCRNPLAY /W /S [/ARJ][/ZIP]
- WIN /3
-
- Now, to get it to work in Windows, you must setup the WIN.INI and the
- SYSTEM.INI files to except the new Wallpaper and Screen Saver files. To
- setup for the Wallpaper file, edit WIN.INI and add (change) the following
- line under the [Desktop] section:
-
- WallPaper = WALLPLAY.BMP
-
- To setup for the Screen Saver file, edit SYSTEM.INI and add (change) the
- following line under the [Boot] section:
-
- SCRNSAVE.EXE=C:\???????\SAVEPLAY.SCR
-
- Note: ?????? represents your windows directory.
-
- Both of these can be setup after starting windows by using the CONTROL PANEL,
- DESKTOP setup procedure. Please note that there will only be one Screen
- Saver and it will NOT be called SAVEPLAY. It will display the internal
- description that is stored in the file. Don't let this alarm you, just
- select it.
-
- If you enjoy this program, GREAT! Use it! If you love this program or would
- like to see any changes, or just have compassion for a over-worked programmer
