Splash Screen. Insert your own custom splash screen which
displays automatically when SETUP.EXE executes. All you have to do
is copy a bitmap file (SPLASH.BMP) to disk 1 of the setup disks
and SETUP.EXE will pick it up and display it automatically. There
are many ways to create the bitmap: design and form and save it to
a BMP file, select from thousands of available files or create
a bitmap file with Paint or Paintbrush. (Unfortunately the
SPLASH.BMP file will have to be on the first diskette in this version.)


Smaller and faster optimized code for faster execution and load times.
