- Current version of FSCBMSIE is 1.1.9 12/04/96 (see history at end)
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Please note - One thing that has confused users: FSBC MUST launch
- the MSIE session to control it, if you launch a MSIE session by
- any means other than clicking the MSIE button on the FSBC toolbar
- FSBC will NOT control it, the link MUST be etablished by starting
- MSIE with FSBC.
-
- Secondly, Win 95 is sensitive to the order in which DLL's and other
- supporting files are added or updated. Several users have noticed that
- FSBC stops launching MSIE when MSIE or other internet apps are updated.
- In order to fix this you should UNinstall MSIE and then reinstall it.
- This is not an FSBC problem but is a problem with the way that FSBC and
- MSIE use the Win 95 OLE process.
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Note that if you already have these files registered on your system
- you can DL the FSBCONLY.ZIP file, else you will have to DL the whole
- bloated setup package FSBCMSIE.ZIP:
-
- COMCTL32.OCX
- CTL3D32.DLL
- THREED32.OCX
-
- The abocve are included in the VB4 runtime package, if you need the
- package try the below sources. It installs files that VB4 apps
- need, you need it only ONCE for any and all VB4 apps.
-
- Check these sources or any shareware site:

- ftp://ftp.sausage.com/pub/hd32supp.exe
- ftp://ftp.apexsc.com/pub/cgvb/misc/vb4r32p.exe
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- If you are DL'ing an updated version of FSBCMSIE then you need only
- the FSBCONLY.ZIP file, simply extract the EXE file and place it in
- the same dir as the old version over writing it.
-

-
- FSBC stands for Full Screen Browser Control, a neat little floating
- palette of buttons that can be moved anywhere on the screen or tucked
- into a corner in a collapsed state. It launches MSIE, controls the
- window size and closes MSIE when it closes. Couple this with the right
- mouse button context menus in MSIE and there is little need for anything
- else ! It allows MSIE to be shown in a SUPER MAXED SCREEN state
- NO TOOLBAR, MENU, STATUSBAR or TITLEBAR, just WALL TO WALL BROWSER.
-
- I wrote FSBC because I got tired of scrolling all around at web sites
- trying to see the whole document. Even with a 15" monitor set at
- 800 x 600, with all the buttons menus and other stuff hanging on the
- browser and Win 95's taskbar visible it leaves little room to show the
- actual document. So with VB4 and the InternetExplorer OLE object in
- hand I sought to remedy the situation - the result is FSBC.
-
- It is simple to use, tooltips are available to aid you.
-
- Requires VB4 runtime files (not included)
- Windows 95 (not included :) )
- MSIE v 3.0 (not included)
-
- To install, unzip the ZIP file and run SETUP, it's that easy!
-
-
- This shareware version is active for 21 days.
- Registration of FSBC costs just $5.00.
