- Facade(tm)
- -------------------
-
- developers' pcx splashscreen display for DOS applications
-
- v1.2
-
-
- Facade(tm) is a simple loader program that allows DOS executable applications
- to display a developer-designed VGA .pcx file as a sign-on image. Upon
- normal execution of the main application, Facade releases itself from
- memory, thus adding no overhead to the executable sequence.
-
- The splashscreen displays for four seconds, then calls the main executable
- just as it would have been executed from the system prompt.
-
- Facade may be used with most traditional MS-DOS language executables,
- including those created with CA-Clipper, Borland Turbo Pascal, QuickBASIC,
- PowerBasic, Visual Basic(tm) for DOS, dBase, Clarion, C, etc. Unlike other
- programs of this type, Facade may actually work well in professional
- development environments.
-
- Facade image displays will run under both DOS and Windows. The utility
- is particularly effective for software developers preparing copyright or
- other splashscreens of their products, in that they can easily capture usable
- materials with programs like Hijaak(tm) for Windows and modify or create them
- in editing programs such as Windows(tm) Paintbrush.
-
- Sample files and on-disk documentation are included. The full registration
- fee is only $24.95 (single-user system).
-
-
- Program Requirements
- ---------------------
- The requirements for running Facade include a DOS-compatible PC with 512k
- memory, VGA graphics capability, and a hard drive. DOS 3.1 (or later) or
- Windows 3.x (or later) should be utilized.
-
-
-
- [ Please note there is a similarly-named version of Facade called Facade-C
- (Facade for Clipper), also from RCCO Research, which is specifically designed
- for developers using CA-Clipper(R). The present version of Facade will also
- work well with Clipper, but we must point out the similar names to help avoid
- confusion about the two products. ]
