 Full documentation for StartupSwapper is provided in the included
 Windows help file.  This file just contains a few odds and ends, etc. I
 would have named it READ.ME or README.TXT, but how many of those can you
 have?

 To get to the full documentation for this evaluation version, run
 SWAPCON.EXE and click the 'Help' button.


                                INVENTORY
                                ---------

 This archive should've included:

 SWAPPER.EXE - The StartupSwapper Randomizer application.
 SWAPCON.EXE - The StartupSwapper Control Panel application.
 SWAPCON.HLP - The StartupSwapper help file.
 SWAPPER.TXT - This text file.
 SWAPPER.REG - The StartupSwapper registration form.
   LUNAR.RLE - Sample RLE file.
    SNOW.RLE - Sample RLE file.

 Note: Copies of StartupSwapper located on the REGISTERED version disk
 do not contain the RLE files.  A group of RLE files is provided in
 a separate archive.  SWAPPER.REG is also still included in the
 REGISTERED version disk archive, in case our customers would like to
 pass it along.

                               VISUAL BASIC
                               ------------

 This program is written in Microsoft Visual Basic.  Therefore, it can
 only be used in Windows' Standard or Enhanced modes, and requires the
 royalty-free Visual Basic runtime DLL.  This DLL is widely available,
 and free... It is available on CompuServe in the Microsoft Basic Forum
 (GO MSBASIC) in library #6, and on GEnie in the IBM PC RoundTable
 (IBMPC), as VBRUN.ZIP.


                               BACKUP FILE
                               -----------

 StartupSwapper makes a backup of your WIN.COM file named WINBAK.COM.
 If, for some reason, you can no longer run Windows after using
 StartupSwapper, delete WIN.COM and rename WINBAK.COM to WIN.COM.

 If your current startup screen is the standard Microsoft screen,
 following the procedure above will also restore your original startup
 screen.  If not, use StartupScreen to restore the original screen.
 StartupScreen is available almost everywhere StartupScreen can be found,
 and is also included on the REGISTERED version disk.



                 SAMPLE RLE FILES, LUNAR.RLE AND SNOW.RLE
                 ----------------------------------------

 The included sample RLE files, LUNAR.RLE and SNOW.RLE, will display
 properly only on VGA or better systems.

 LUNAR.RLE is a picture of astronaut Buzz Aldrin from the first moon
 landing.  The reflection in his helmet shows astronaut Neil Armstrong.

 SNOW.RLE is a Calvin and Hobbes-inspired drawing.  Calvin is
 contemplating several designs for snowmen.

 These pictures were previously available publicly in other graphics
 formats and are included in this archive as samples only.  They are not
 part of the copyrighted StartupSwapper package.
