- MDSTDEMO.ZIP by Paul Ligeski
-
- This ZIP file contains the source code and resources for the about
- box that describes the MEDSTAT System2 program. It's a good example
- of using bitmaps, animation, multiple fonts, and pyrotechnics.
-
- The ZIP file is broken up as follows:
-
- CREDITSW.CLS : Source code for the about box
- ABOUT.ACT : Hook to run about box from "About Actor..."
- MEDSTAT.BMP : MEDSTAT logo bitmap resource
- FIREWORK.BMP : Firework bitmap resource
- BITMAP.RC : Hook into ACTOR.RC to compile bitmaps
- STRTABLE.RC : Hook into ACTOR.RC's STRINGTABLE
- BLDEXE.BAT : Rebuild ACTOR.EXE with new ACTOR.RC
- ABOUT.LOD : About box load file
- README.TXT : This file
-
- Instructions:
-
- 1) Copy CREDITSW.CLS into ACTOR\CLASSES
- 2) Copy ABOUT.ACT into ACTOR\ACT
- 3) Copy MEDSTAT.BMP, FIREWORK.BMP, BITMAP.RC, and STRTABLE.RC into ACTOR\RES
- 4) Add to ACTOR.RC:
- rcinclude BITMAP.RC /* Add just after other BITMAP resources */
- rcinclude STRTABLE.RC /* Add *inside* the STRINGTABLE section */
- 5) Run BLDEXE.BAT to rebuild ACTOR.EXE with the new ACTOR.RC
- 6) Go into a clean ACTOR.IMA and type:
- load("ABOUT.LOD");
- load();
- 7) Select "About Actor..." and watch the fireworks.
-
- This is just a fun demo taken from the Whitewater Group's creativity
- department. Hope you like it.
