- Dropper v1.2
- ============
-
- Dropper is a small program which allows you to perform drag and drop
- to the Windows desktop. It is similar in many ways to the NeXT style
- "icon dock" programs around at the moment. Rather than requiring that
- drag and drop is performed to a strip along one side of the screen
- however, Dropper allows any part of the desktop to be used as a target.
- Dropper requires Windows 3.1.
-
- Full documentation for this release of Dropper may be found in the
- Windows help file "dropper.hlp".

- Turning off icon borders seems to be extremely buggy at the moment,
- it'll work on some machines, but dies with a protection violation on
- others. I believe that this is another incarnation of the transparent
- window bug that's currently (one of the things) stopping me from getting
- an NT version of Dropper ready. I've left the feature in, because
- several people requested it. If you try it and have problems, I would
- be grateful if you could give me as much detail as you can so I can try
- to work out what's going on. For that matter, if you try it
- successfully, I'd also be grateful for any information that you can pass
- on...
-
- Thanks
-
- Paul.

- in with concrete and placed under permenant armed guard).
