README FILE FOR WINLOGO
-----------------------
WINLOGO is a program for Windows 3.x which allows users to
change the Windows startup logo by a simple menu selection.
It thus makes it easy to customise Windows by substituting
company logos, funny pictures, etc., for the default VGA
logo that comes with Windows itself.
INSTALLATION
------------
To install WINLOGO, you need to run the supplied installation
routine, "INSTALL.EXE". The program files are in a compressed
format and cannot be run at all until the installation routine
is run. The compressed file "WINLOGO.C0_" contains;
[a] the executable "WINLOGO.EXE",
[b] the INI file "WINLOGO.INI",
[c] the DOC file "WINLOGO.DOC",
[d] the HELP file "WINLOGO.HLP", and
[e] "RLES.EXE" - self-extracting compressed file
containing some sample 3rd party RLE bitmaps files. To
extract these files, just type "RLES" and press <ENTER>.
Note that you need at least 408k of free disk space for
these RLE bitmaps.
To run the installation, you need to select "File", and then
"Run" from the Program Manager. When prompted for the program
to run, type "A:INSTALL" or "B:INSTALL", depending on which
drive you are installing from.
If you want the installation program to create a Program Manager
group for you, then you need to click click on the box labeled
"Create Program Manager Item" BEFORE selecting "Start Install".
You may need to edit the WINLOGO.INI file after the installation.
You need at least 510k free space on your hard disk for a full
installation of WINLOGO. About 408k of this is taken up by the
sample RLE bitmaps, which have to be de-compressed separately.
If you choose not to de-compress the bitmaps then you will only
need 230k for the installation (this includes the compressed
bitmaps.
After the program files are installed, you need
to;
[1] Edit the file WINLOGO.INI if you have installed the
program into a directory other than C:\WINLOGO. You
need to supply the name of the WINLOGO directory on
the RLE-DIRECTORY line. This is where WINLOGO will
look for the RLE bitmaps to use. Otherwise, it will
default to your Windows System directory.
[2] If you have a display type which is not VGA or SVGA
(or compatible), edit the VIDEO-TYPE line in the
file WINLOGO.INI to supply your video display type.
If this line is left empty, WINLOGO attempts to detect
the type of Windows Screen Driver that you have installed.
However, this auto-detection is not fool proof.
