- SWAP 5.00 HAS BEEN RELEASED WITH FEATURES GALORE!!!
- The new features added to this version are amazing!!!
- Swap now has a unique installer to handle new desktop and logo
- images!!! Swap just adds the new image to it's appropriate queue.
-
- To get Swap to install a new logo image simply type:
- SWAP -IL C:\mydir\filename.ext
- To get Swap to install a new desktop image use:
- SWAP -ID C:\mydir\filename.ext
- where mydir is the directory where the new image is and filename.ext
- is the filename of the new image WITH extention.
-
- To get Swap to cycle your Desktop Images just use:
- SWAP -D
- The Desktop images should be located in c:\windows
-
- Unfortunatly Swap still requires ATTRIB.EXE to be in your
- c:\windows\command directory. If you have installed Windows 95 to a
- different directory then just make the following directories:
- C:\WINDOWS
- C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
- Place all your Desktop Images in the C:\WINDOWS directory and copy
- ATTRIB.EXE to C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND. Then you can still fully use the
- features of Swap
-
- ADDING LOGOS TO THE QUEUE:
- Adding logo's couldn't be easier!!! Just use:
- SWAP -IL C:\mydir\filename.ext
- where mydir is the directory that the new logo image is and filename.ext
- is the filename of the new image WITH extention!
- eg. to add NEWLOGO.BMP which is in D:\NEW to the logo queue type:
- SWAP -IL D:\NEW\NEWLOGO.BMP
-
- ADDING DESKTOPS TO THE QUEUE:
- This is a similar process to adding logo's. Just use:
- SWAP -ID C:\mydir\filename.ext
- where mydir is the directory that the new desktop image is and
- filename.ext is the filename of the new image WITH extention!
- eg. to add A-DESK.BMP which is in C:\DESKTOP to the logo queue type:
- SWAP -ID C:\DESKTOP\A-DESK.BMP
-
- NOTE: The desktops being added MUST be in Windows BMP format. GIF and JPG
- formats are currently not supported by Windows.
-
- To get SWAP to change your Desktops just enter:
- SWAP -D
- in your Autoexec.bat file.
-
- DISCLAMER:
- I have tried and tested this program on MY system and everything works
- however I cannot take responsibility for any side effects this program
- may cause.
-
- WHAT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG???
- Well nothing really can go wrong with Swap but is something does go
- wrong with Swap then it will pipe up with an error message.
- Some of the error messages are listed below. If the error doesn't
- appear then E-Mail the message to masters96@geocities.com and I
- will try and get back to you with a suggestion.
- You can also try:
- SWAP -H
- This will come up with a status screen like this:
-
