Folks:
Here it is, the new and improved WallBlaster, Freeware
Version 1.4 ! Thanx to all who've downloaded the program and your
support. Among other changes detailed below, there's *tentative*
support for Windows 3.1. I'm unsure of the Windows 3.1 support,
since the most recent beta I have (very old doesn't support the new
paper changing facility.) ALSO PLEASE DISREGARD ORDER INFORMATION
FOR WALLBLASTER AND OTHER WRIGHTWORKS PRODUCTS LISTED IN THE WB.TXT
FILE FOR TIME BEING !
[WallBlaster]
Bgnd=0
Quiet=1
Setting Bgnd=0 in your WIN.INI file makes WallBlaster change
the wallpaper in the foreground. This will prevent Windows from
moving parts of the system while WB is working. Decompression will
occur a little faster if images are decompressed in the foreground.
If you don't explicitly set Bgnd=1, then WallBlaster will always
decompress wallpaper files in the foreground. You MUST enable
background processing by editing WIN.INI.
If you set Quiet=1, then WallBlaster won't display the
current wallpaper pathname in the program's caption. This change was
made for those who didn't like the normal caption obliterating the
captions of other applications.
Another bug that has been fixed in WallBlaster 1.2 was the
display of an error message when the timer interval was set to 0.
Just as before WallBlaster is easy to install. Simply move
some wallpaper files to a file called WBLASTER.ZIP, put it and WB.EXE
into your Windows directory and you're finished. Additional
instructions are contained in the WallBlaster manual, WB.TXT. This
version also introduces a minor physical change, in that the program
has been split into two parts. WB.EXE is the WallBlaster executable,
while the decompression routines are contained in a file called
UNZIP.DLL. Both files MUST be in the same sub-directory, preferably
in your Windows sub-directory. It's IMPORTANT to make sure that the
old WB.EXE is deleted before installing the new software.
WallBlaster, its DLL, and the wallpaper library can be placed
just about anywhere you'd like on your hard disk. I recommend using
the Windows sub-directory, since this will make the decompression
routines work a little faster, since the library file and the
wallpaper file will reside on the same disk. However, some of you
have already discovered that the LibraryName= profile string can be
set to something other than your Windows sub-directory. Unlike
before, WB make the Windows sub-directory its working subdirectory,
so regardless of where the program and library files are located,
wallpaper files are extracted to the Windows sub-directory.
Thanks again for your continued support. See you on the
bboards.
