- README FILE FOR WINLOGO
- -----------------------
-
- WINLOGO is a program for Windows 3.x which allows users to
- change the Windows startup logo by a simple menu selection.
- It thus makes it easy to customise Windows by substituting
- company logos, funny pictures, etc., for the default VGA
- logo that comes with Windows itself.
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
- To install WINLOGO, you need to run the supplied installation
- routine, "INSTALL.EXE". The program files are in a compressed
- format and cannot be run at all until the installation routine
- is run. The compressed file "WINLOGO.C0_" contains;
- [a] the executable "WINLOGO.EXE",
- [b] the INI file "WINLOGO.INI",
- [c] the DOC file "WINLOGO.DOC",
- [d] the HELP file "WINLOGO.HLP", and
- [e] "RLES.EXE" - self-extracting compressed file
- containing some sample 3rd party RLE bitmaps files. To
- extract these files, just type "RLES" and press <ENTER>.
- Note that you need at least 408k of free disk space for
- these RLE bitmaps.
-
-
- To run the installation, you need to select "File", and then
- "Run" from the Program Manager. When prompted for the program
- to run, type "A:INSTALL" or "B:INSTALL", depending on which
- drive you are installing from.
-
- If you want the installation program to create a Program Manager
- group for you, then you need to click click on the box labeled
- "Create Program Manager Item" BEFORE selecting "Start Install".
- You may need to edit the WINLOGO.INI file after the installation.
-
- You need at least 510k free space on your hard disk for a full
- installation of WINLOGO. About 408k of this is taken up by the
- sample RLE bitmaps, which have to be de-compressed separately.
- If you choose not to de-compress the bitmaps then you will only
- need 230k for the installation (this includes the compressed
- bitmaps.
-
- After the program files are installed, you need
- to;
- [1] Edit the file WINLOGO.INI if you have installed the
- program into a directory other than C:\WINLOGO. You
- need to supply the name of the WINLOGO directory on
- the RLE-DIRECTORY line. This is where WINLOGO will
- look for the RLE bitmaps to use. Otherwise, it will
- default to your Windows System directory.
-
- [2] If you have a display type which is not VGA or SVGA
- (or compatible), edit the VIDEO-TYPE line in the
- file WINLOGO.INI to supply your video display type.
- If this line is left empty, WINLOGO attempts to detect
- the type of Windows Screen Driver that you have installed.
- However, this auto-detection is not fool proof.
