This is a collection of five of my Windows utilities.  All are designed to
work with the Launch utility and are examples of extending Launch's
capabilities with mini-apps.  If you don't have Launch you can get it from
the WINADV forum on CompuServe.  (Latest version is 2.3)


  Paper    : Sets the desktop wallpaper from a bitmap or RLE file.
  Mousy    : Cleans the Windows desktop.
  SnapShot : Captures an image of the Windows desktop into the clipboard.
  Run-Mac  : Automates execution of Windows Recorder macros.
  Minimize : Iconizes all windows and arranges the icons.


The utilities follow the "small is beautiful" principle.  Just say "No!"
to sloppy software.  Each utility's .EXE file is less than 500 bytes!

The Launch Utility Set is Shareware but it is free to anyone who has
registered Launch.  This is my way of saying "Thank-you" for your
support.  If you aren't a Launch customer you can register the utility
set for only $10.


-----------------
Paper version 1.1
-----------------
Paper will set your desktop wallpaper.  All you need to do is specify
the wallpaper file name on the command line.

Here is an example from my Launch menu:

[Menu]
Earth = c:\tools\paper31.exe c:\pix\earth7.rle
Neko  = c:\tools\paper31.exe c:\pix\neko.bmp

You can use both bitmaps and RLE files for wallpaper.  Running Paper
with no arguments clears the wallpaper from the desktop.

There are two versions of Paper.  PAPER31.EXE is for Windows 3.1 and
Windows for Workgroups.  PAPER30.EXE is for Windows 3.0.


--------------------
Snapshot version 1.1
--------------------
Snapshot takes a picture of the Windows desktop and puts it in the
clipboard.  You can save the picture and edit or print it if you like.

SnapShot runs silently.  It doesn't beep at you or display a message.
Just look in the clipboard after running SnapShot and you will find a
picture of the Windows desktop.  Use the Clipboard program which is
supplied with Windows.


--------------------
Minimize version 1.0
--------------------
Minimize will minimize (iconize) all the programs on your Windows
desktop.  It's a good way to organize a messy desktop.


-------------------
Run-Mac version 1.2
-------------------
Run-Mac will run a Windows Recorder macro. All you need to do is
specify the macro file name on the command line. Run-Mac will launch
the Windows Recorder and execute your macro.

Here is an example from my Launch menu:

[Menu]
Pull Text = c:\tools\run-mac\run-mac.exe  c:\macros\pull

This version is an improvement of 1.1.  The Recorder window no longer
pops up when Run-Mac executes a macro.


-----------------
Mousy version 1.3
-----------------
Mousy will display the mouse if it is hiding. Anyone using the first
release of Turbo Debugger for Windows will find it invaluable since
TDW has the nasty habit of often leaving the mouse hidden when it is
exited.

Mousy also provides a quick way to refresh your Windows screen if it has
become contaminated by an errant program.
