NOVELL TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT

TITLE:  Splash Screen Wanted
README FOR:  SPLASH.EXE

NOVELL PRODUCTS and VERSIONS:
AppWare for Win 1.2

ABSTRACT:

Overview:
 =========
 This patch will allow applications produced with AppWare to
incorporate
 splash screen capability.  Through a menu item in the Project
menu of
 AppWare, you can bring up a dialog box  which will allow you to
load or
 paste in a bitmap which can then be used for the splash screen. 
The splash
 screen will appear immediately upon starting the application,
and will be
 centered on the screen.  The splash screen will remain until the
application
 file is read in, or until a minimum specified time has been
reached -
 whichever occurs last.

Installation Instructions:

Installation:
 =============
 The patch program can be run from either the dos prompt, or from
the Run
 option under the File menu in Program Manager.

 From the DOS prompt:
 -------------------
 1.  Insert the patch disk into the drive:


 2.  Change the current directory to the drive where the disk was
inserted.
     For example, if the disk is in drive A, type a:\ to make
this the current directory.


 3.  For the patch to work, you will need to tell the patch
program where your
     AppWare files are.

     To do this, run the patch program by typing PATCH followed
by the
     location of your AppWare\bin directory.

     For example, if you have AppWare installed at c:\AppWare and
your bin
     directory is C:\APPWARE\BIN, you would type PATCH
C:\APPWARE\BIN


 From Windows:

 1.  Insert the patch disk into the drive:

 2.  Select the Run menu option under the File menu in Program
Manager.

 3.  For the patch to work, you will need to tell the patch
program where your
     AppWare files are.

     To do this, run the patch program by typing A:\PATCH
followed by the
     location of the APPWARE\BIN directory into the Command Line
box. (Note:
     if your disk is in a different drive than A:, type that
drive letter
     instead of a:).

     For example, if you have AppWare installed at C:\APPWARE and
your bin
     directory is C:\APPWARE\BIN, you would type PATCH
C:\APPWARE\BIN into the
     Command Line box.
