Official Patch for AppWare version 1.22
=======================================
IMPORTANT:
==========
This patch will only work for AppWare version 1.2 and the first patch
for 1.2 which enabled splash screen capability in derivative apps.
Overview:
=========
This patch will allow applications produced with appware to incorporate
a splash screen capability. Through a menu pick in the project menu of
AppWare, you can bring up a dialog box which will allow you to load or
paste in a bitmap which can then be used for the splash screen. The splash
screen will appear immediately upon starting the application, and will be
centered on the screen. The splash screen will remain until the application
file is read in, or until a minimum specified time has been reached -
whichever occurs last.
This patch will also allow users to specify if there produced executables
should be limited to only one running instance. This feature can be selected
through a menu pick in the project menu.
In order to add the above capabilities, you must have both the patched
appware.exe and almkrnl.dll files in your appware/bin directory. The new
almkrnl.dll can be used with existing applications which were created with
AppWare 1.2. However, you should not mix and match the new almkrnl.dll
with the old appware.exe, or the old almkrnl.dll with the new appware.exe as
a crash may result.
Installation:
=============
You can run the patch program from either the dos prompt, or from the Run
option under the File menu in Program Manager.
From the DOS prompt:
-------------------
1. Insert the patch disk into your drive:
2. Change your current directory to the drive where you inserted the disk.
For example, if you put the disk in drive A, type a:\ to make a:\ your
current directory.
3. For the patch to work, you will need to tell the patch program where your
AppWare files are.
To do this, run the patch program by typing PATCH followed by the
location of your AppWare\bin directory.
For example, if you have AppWare installed at c:\AppWare and your bin
directory is c:\AppWare\bin, you would type PATCH c:\AppWare\bin.
From Windows:
1. Insert the patch disk into your drive:
2. Select the Run menu option under the File menu in Program Manager.
3. For the patch to work, you will need to tell the patch program where your
AppWare files are.
To do this, run the patch program by typing a:\PATCH followed by the
location of your AppWare\bin directory into the Command Line box. (Note:
if your disk is in a different drive than A:, type that drive letter
instead of a:).
For example, if you have AppWare installed at c:\AppWare and your bin
directory is c:\AppWare\bin, you would type PATCH c:\AppWare\bin into the
Command Line box.
