ScrollMaster
------------
Short description
-----------------
ScrollMaster is a shareware program and an easy to use MS-Windows desktop utility
that makes scrolling easier and reduces arm movement.
Scrolling is performed on the window that is underneath the ScrollMaster-window.
If no effect, try to move the ScrollMaster-window a bit inside the window
where scrolling wants to be performed.
Installation
------------
Download/copy/place ScrollMaster files (scrollma.exe, scrollma.ini, drbuttox.dll, readme.txt)
to wherever you like.
All the files must stay in the same directory.
Works right away.
No extra installation needed.
Suggested storing directory: c:\scrollma
ScrollMaster does not touch other MS-Windows files (like ini-files etc...).

Longer description
------------------
ScrollMaster performs scrolling on the window that is below the
scrollbox. For scrolling to be possible, the underlaying window must
have scrollbars and the scrollbars must be of type 'ScrollBar'.
Scrollbars in MS-Windows is not always of type 'ScrollBar' even if they
look like scrollbars. Scrollbars in LOTUS123 and MS-Word is an
example on this. For scrolling to be possible in programs like this, the
scrollbar-type must be registered in the ScrollMaster ini-file. This is
done by entering the scrollbar-type on the line outside the text
'ScrollBar'. On this line there will always be entered 2 other scrollbar-
types: OpusRSB and 123WScrollBar. If the user enters a program
where ScrollMaster does not work, and the user is able to find out
the scrollbar-type, the scrollbar-type can be registeret outside the
line 'ScrollBar' in the ini-file. Scrollbar-types must be entered with a
space in between. Doing this there is a great possibility that scrolling
will work in the program.
If scrolling still will not work or user does not has access to the
information about the scrollbox-type, write to Jarle Pettersen.
Remember to state the name and version no. of the program where
ScrollMaster does not work.
Known anomalities
-----------------
When running MS-Powerpoint (ver 3.0) the program enters GP-
Fault when using ScrollMaster. We believe that this is due to a
memory/stack problem in Powerpoint and not a problem in
ScrollMaster. ScrollMaster uses only documented MS-SDK routines,
and Powerpoint failes when receiving a perfectly legal 'PostMessage'-
command.
In the errorsituation Dr.Watson (Microsoft product) reports that ES-
register is NULL, which is illegal in the circumstances. Powerpoint
executes a Local or Global Reallocation of memory when receiving the
'PostMessage' and the error occur in MS-Windows USER.EXE library.
