Current version of FSCBMSIE is 1.1.9 12/04/96 (see history at end)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please note - One thing that has confused users: FSBC MUST launch
the MSIE session to control it, if you launch a MSIE session by
any means other than clicking the MSIE button on the FSBC toolbar
FSBC will NOT control it, the link MUST be etablished by starting
MSIE with FSBC.
Secondly, Win 95 is sensitive to the order in which DLL's and other
supporting files are added or updated. Several users have noticed that
FSBC stops launching MSIE when MSIE or other internet apps are updated.
In order to fix this you should UNinstall MSIE and then reinstall it.
This is not an FSBC problem but is a problem with the way that FSBC and
MSIE use the Win 95 OLE process.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that if you already have these files registered on your system
you can DL the FSBCONLY.ZIP file, else you will have to DL the whole
bloated setup package FSBCMSIE.ZIP:
COMCTL32.OCX
CTL3D32.DLL
THREED32.OCX
The abocve are included in the VB4 runtime package, if you need the
package try the below sources. It installs files that VB4 apps
need, you need it only ONCE for any and all VB4 apps.
Check these sources or any shareware site:
Scottsman Software: http://www.net-link.net/~sda19
ftp://ftp.sausage.com/pub/hd32supp.exe
ftp://ftp.apexsc.com/pub/cgvb/misc/vb4r32p.exe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are DL'ing an updated version of FSBCMSIE then you need only
the FSBCONLY.ZIP file, simply extract the EXE file and place it in
the same dir as the old version over writing it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FSBC stands for Full Screen Browser Control, a neat little floating
palette of buttons that can be moved anywhere on the screen or tucked
into a corner in a collapsed state. It launches MSIE, controls the
window size and closes MSIE when it closes. Couple this with the right
mouse button context menus in MSIE and there is little need for anything
else ! It allows MSIE to be shown in a SUPER MAXED SCREEN state
NO TOOLBAR, MENU, STATUSBAR or TITLEBAR, just WALL TO WALL BROWSER.
I wrote FSBC because I got tired of scrolling all around at web sites
trying to see the whole document. Even with a 15" monitor set at
800 x 600, with all the buttons menus and other stuff hanging on the
browser and Win 95's taskbar visible it leaves little room to show the
actual document. So with VB4 and the InternetExplorer OLE object in
hand I sought to remedy the situation - the result is FSBC.
It is simple to use, tooltips are available to aid you.
Requires VB4 runtime files (not included)
Windows 95 (not included :) )
MSIE v 3.0 (not included)
To install, unzip the ZIP file and run SETUP, it's that easy!
This shareware version is active for 21 days.
Registration of FSBC costs just $5.00.
