WinCycler 3.2 Shareware is a professional desktop media
autocycler for 32bit Windows. WinCycler 3.2 has been
fully tested on Windows 95, 98, and NT 4. Register once
and any newer versions are also registered.

This version is exactly the same as the registered one,
except that it will cease to operate 30 days after
it is first run.  See register.txt for purchasing info.
If you previously used version 3.0 or above, 3.2 will not
reset the 30-day trial, as they are almost the same thing.

Note:
Colors will look strange in 256 or 16 color video modes,
as the interface was designed for high-color video.


INSTRUCTIONS

Just run the WinCycler Control Center from your desktop.

Once you start the control center, click on the "?" in
the bottom left corner to read all about it.

UPDATE INFO (after 3.0):

changes in 3.2:

-wallpaper and logo cyclers now change graphics to bitmap format on the fly,
 so that there aren't all those pre-converted bitmaps wasting lots of hard
 drive space (most computers are pretty fast now, so you shouldn't really
 notice the convert-on-the-fly).
-option to change the screensaver while it's running, not just for the
 next time Windows starts it up.
-if you are using random cycling, now makes sure you don't use the same
 file twice in a row.
-the help now looks ok in large fonts also.

changes in 3.11:

-fixed a big bug that was messing up everthing if your system wasn't
 using normal (small) fonts (although the help still looks strange).
-fixed a bug where your screensaver would never run if the update screensaver
 interval time was less than or equal to your screensaver idle-wait time.
-fixed a bug in not getting your correct registration keyword (if you already
 registered 3.0 or 3.1 you will have to send us your keyword again if 3.11
 is not registered automatically).

changes in 3.1:

-can add/insert a whole folder of files.
-on top of list current file that's being used is shown.
-sounds list uses "friendly names" and is in alphabetical order.
-can force the updater to stay in tray even if nothing is scheduled.
-help is a separate program, so you can alt+tab to/from it.
-let's you use .sys (that are really bitmaps) files for logos.
-don't have to use auto center/tile/stretch if you don't want to.
-fixed a bug that was deleting the wrong files from your list if the files
 you selected to delete were not in consecutive order.
