Version 1.1 Half-Shell Version 1.1
by Troy Stephens
==============================================================================
Half-Shell is a minimal replacement shell for Microsoft Windows
3.0's Program Manager. Its main design goal is to free up
memory for other applications and, above all,
make Windows load faster!
---- ------- ---- ------
REQUIREMENTS
To use Half-Shell, you will need a PC-compatible system with an
80286 or higher processor, running Microsoft Windows 3.0 or later
in Standard or 386-Enhanced mode. Use of a mouse is optional.
DOCUMENTATION
Complete, ready-to-print documentation (7 pages) for Half-Shell
is provided in HALFSHEL.WRI (in Windows 3.0 Write format).
PACKING LIST
You should have the following files:
README this file
HALFSHEL.WRI Half-Shell documentation (in Windows 3.0 Write format)
SWAPSHEL.EXE SwapShell executable (DOS)
HALFSHEL.EXE Half-Shell executable (Windows)
HALFSHEL.INI Half-Shell initialization file
HALFCON .EXE Half-Shell configuration program (Windows)
INSTALL .BAT installation batch file
QUICK START
To install Half-Shell on your system:
1. If you received Half-Shell on a disk or unpacked it into a
directory other than your main Windows directory (usually
C:\WINDOWS), type INSTALL followed by the name of the
main Windows directory. For example:
INSTALL C:\WINDOWS
INSTALL copys the files HALFSHEL.EXE, HALFSHEL.INI,
HALFCON.EXE, and SWAPSHEL.EXE to your Windows directory.
===> If you have a previous version of Half-Shell installed on
your system, INSTALL will replace the old version, without
overwriting your launch-list settings.
2. Type SWAPSHEL at the DOS command prompt to make Half-Shell
your current Windows shell.
3. Read the documentation provided in HALFSHEL.WRI.
NEW TO VERSION 1.1
Half-Shell 1.1 provides two major enhancements over the 1.0 release:
+ A new configuration program that eliminates the need to
manually edit HALFSHEL.INI!
+ Optional recognition of the "load=" and "run=" settings
in WIN.INI
See the revised documentation for complete descriptions of these
new features.
