- Version 1.1 Half-Shell Version 1.1
- by Troy Stephens
- ==============================================================================
-
- Half-Shell is a minimal replacement shell for Microsoft Windows
- 3.0's Program Manager. Its main design goal is to free up
- memory for other applications and, above all,
- make Windows load faster!
- ---- ------- ---- ------
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- To use Half-Shell, you will need a PC-compatible system with an
- 80286 or higher processor, running Microsoft Windows 3.0 or later
- in Standard or 386-Enhanced mode. Use of a mouse is optional.
-
- DOCUMENTATION
-
- Complete, ready-to-print documentation (7 pages) for Half-Shell
- is provided in HALFSHEL.WRI (in Windows 3.0 Write format).
-
- PACKING LIST
-
- You should have the following files:
-
- README this file

- QUICK START
-
- To install Half-Shell on your system:
-
- 1. If you received Half-Shell on a disk or unpacked it into a
- directory other than your main Windows directory (usually
- C:\WINDOWS), type INSTALL followed by the name of the
- main Windows directory. For example:
-
- INSTALL C:\WINDOWS
-
- INSTALL copys the files HALFSHEL.EXE, HALFSHEL.INI,
- HALFCON.EXE, and SWAPSHEL.EXE to your Windows directory.
- ===> If you have a previous version of Half-Shell installed on
- your system, INSTALL will replace the old version, without
- overwriting your launch-list settings.
- 2. Type SWAPSHEL at the DOS command prompt to make Half-Shell
- your current Windows shell.
- 3. Read the documentation provided in HALFSHEL.WRI.
-
- NEW TO VERSION 1.1
-
- Half-Shell 1.1 provides two major enhancements over the 1.0 release:
-
- + A new configuration program that eliminates the need to
- manually edit HALFSHEL.INI!
- + Optional recognition of the "load=" and "run=" settings
- in WIN.INI
-
- See the revised documentation for complete descriptions of these
- new features.
