W i n R o a c h 2.3
An Entertaining Windows 3.0 & 3.1 program that delivers just what you
would expect:
Roaches, Roaches, everywhere... They scurry across the screen and hide
under windows. When they get in your way, use the mouse to "squash"
and "exterminate" those pesky roaches.
OVERVIEW
--------
This entertaining program will make closing and moving your windows a
treat. Why? Because every time you close or move a window, roaches
may become exposed, and just like real roaches, they'll want to run
and hide. When exposed, our roaches will immediately scurry to hide
behind the next active window. If they find another window to hide
under on the way to the active window, they'll hide under it.
As an added treat, our roaches will wander out from behind the windows
they are hiding. They will run out to the edge of the desktop, and
then they'll scurry back under a window. If the desktop is completely
covered with windows, the roaches will not be able to wander.
Just like real roaches, they vulnerable to being stepped on. Just
position the mouse pointer over the roach (if you can catch one) and
use the mouse button 1. If you hit one, you'll know it!
When the roaches are hidden there is no impact on system performance,
so you can afford to have this program up at all times to keep things
exciting when you close or move windows. If wandering roaches start
to impact system performance, simply increase the frequency to have
the roaches wander less frequently.

FEATURES
--------
* Ability to add up to 10 roaches that'll scurry under the active
window when exposed.
* Ability to set the default number of roaches that are created
at startup time.
* Ability to control the speed of the roaches via the Options
dialog.
* Ability to control how often roaches wander. To prevent the
roaches from wandering, just set the Wander Frequency to 0 in
the Option's dialog box.
* Ability to squash the pesky roaches using mouse button 1! By
placing the cursor over the roach and pressing mouse button 1,
"splat" goes the roach.
INSTALLATION
------------
WinRoach is easy to install. First, you will need to unzip the
WINROACH.ZIP file into a subdirectory (i.e. C:\WINDOWS). You will
need an unzipping utility, like PKUNZIP, to do this.
Once unzipped, you have two choices to get WinRoach up and running.
1. To allow WinRoach to run automatically every time you start
Windows, you will need to modify the WIN.INI file found in the
Windows subdirectory. By editing the line containing the LOAD
keyword, append the program name WINROACH.EXE.
For example: LOAD=C:\WINDOWS\WINROACH.EXE
The next time you start Windows, WinRoach will be started for you
automatically.
2. If you wish to start WinRoach manually, it would be best to
install WinRoach into a group menu of the Program Manager.
Choose 'New' off the 'File' Menu of the Program Manager (Refer to
the Windows' documentation on how to install programs within a
Group of the Program Manager).
