Copy Newstart and the .RLE files you wish to use to generate startup screens intoyour windows subdirectory or the subdirectory of your choice. 090!As A Precaution%0%"p?%?&pAs a Precaution ?&pMake and KEEP a copy of WIN.COM in your windows subdirectory. Call it mywin.com or whatever you choose EXCEPT for WINBAK.COMNewStart will create a copy of WIN.COM called WINBAK.COM before it changes your RLE. It does this each time you change the RLE so you always have a copy of the previous WIN.COM in your Win_ dows directory. If the WIN.COM produced by NewStart fails to start windows properly, rename WINBAK.COM WIN.COM and try again.??!bRestore Microsofts Default RLE%?%"pH"%H&pRestore Microsofts Default RLEH$pNewStart has a button which will restore Microsoft's default RLE file. If for any reason you want the default RLE restored click this button.66!How Newstart Operates%6%"p@%@&pHow Newstart Operates:[@&pNewstart uses methods previously described to build a new WIN.COM file in your windows subdirectory. In essence, It COMBINES the files 'WIN.CNF' ,a .LGO file, and the .RLE file (Run-Length Encoded 4-bit) bitmap into the file 'WIN.COM'. This is the equivalent of the DOS copy command:COPY WIN.CNF /B + VGALOGO.LGO /B + ???.RLE /B WIN.COM.33!WCreating RLE Files%3%"p:%:#pCreating RLE Files: :#p To create your own RLE file create a graphics file in Windows Paint or the paint program of your choice.Save it as a BMP or GIF file (if your paint program allows GIF format). If like me you can't draw worth a hoot start with a GIF you know and love. Previously I stated that the image could be no larger than 640X480 and have no more than 16 colors. I was wrong. I have since converted GIFs as large as 800X600X8. The largest RLE I have is 260K and the WIN.COM produced by NewStart with that RLE is 265K. Why a .COM file larger than 64K works, I have no idea, but it works just fine on my vanilla VGA system. Experiment and see what you can come up with.$pNext, use a graphics conversion program such as WinGIF or Paint Shop to convert the BMP or GIF file to a 'Format RLE' or 'Form Z at RLE 4' file. The file should now be usable as a Windows 3.0 startup screen. 11!`Display Adaptors%1%"p;%;&pDisplay Adapters:;-,pAs far as display adapters go, NewStart has been tested on VGA. Support code for XGA , 3514/A , SuperVGA , EGA and CGA is present but HAS NOT BEEN TESTED !To determine video vertical resolution I'm using the Windows API call GetDeviceCaps(HDC,vertres) Petzold's "Programming Windows" version 3 lists the following values: CGA EGA VGA 8514/A VERTRES 200 350 480 760 In addition, from PC Magazine:f02p HERCULES SVGA XGA VERTRES 348 600 768 producing the following selection table: VERTRES .LGO FILE DEFAULT RLE FILE 200 CGALOGO.LGO CGALOGO.RLE 348 HERCLOGO.LGO HERCLOGO.RLE 350 . EGALOGO.LGO EGALOGO.RLE >= 480 VGALOGO.LGO VGALOGO.RLEEGA monochrome users may have problems. I'd try to copy your EGAMONO.LGO file in the system directory to EGALOGO.LGO and see if it works. Repeat these steps for the EGAMONO.RLE file.%%"p- %-!LTech Support%-%"p7%7&pTech Support:7&pIf you have trouble contact me on GENIE (J.ELKINS1) , COMPUSERVE (70302,1573) or on my BBS and I'll try to help resolve the problem. !!!md -  a cZDHelvPRv𚋳vTms Rmn]USymbolF/P ----------        a aaaaaaaaaa/&;)i24.Maximum nu993514/Aassistanceauthorbackground$backup0bak4bbsbmpxcaution,CGACISCompuservecontactconventions`conversioncovertCreateldefaultHdisclaimer<disclaimersdisplay,VGAdrawEGAfilesinstallGEniegif|graphicsphelphow\imageimportant@informationinstallationmote newstartOperateToperationsXoptionsPpainttpaintshopPrecaution(primeProgramprogrammingdrecoverLresolutionrestoreDrlesetup super VGAtech supporttroublevaluesvideowin.com8windows paintXGA^&G(&G^F&G&G^F&G&G^&G^&G ^+&G$&G"^&G(&G&^&G*`&G,^&G.`&G0^&G8&G6P+PvΝFVvRP+Pvvv^&GÌRP+PvvvFV^FV+FV&G&Wvv~u ~u=FVOF*ȋFfFFPFVBRPʞFV u^&^&G^FV&G&W^+&G4&G2^&G2&W4:^&G&W^+&G &G ^&G&G^&G(&G^F&G&G^F&G&G^F*&G^F&G ^+&G$&G"^&G(&G&^&G*`&G,^&G.`&G0^&G8&G6v^&GÌRPvv;Ft;V^_]MXEU؃ V^ &G&oFVPFBRPxFV u+^&^&G^FV&G&W^&GB&G^+&G &G ^&G&G^&G(&G^ &G^&G&W^ &G^&G&W^v &L*&O^v &L &O ^+&G$&G"^&G(&G&^ &9G|&9G}!^&G*`&G,^&G.`&G0^ &GRP&GRPRP2RP^ &GRP+RPK^&G*&W,^ &GRP&GRPDRP2RP^ &GRPRP^&G.&W0vv^ &w &w ^&GÌRP PFPvvFvv/F^]MXEU؃ vCFV u+~u~t)PFPv vFvvFav+PPPt/&;)LzCharacters 'KH Index-Program Information As A PrecautionRestore Microsofts Default RLE How Newstart Operates Creating RLE FilesaDisplay AdaptorsTech Support hjj>t >u *%sjhh">u>ujhhD2]3ǃ>tȣÃ>u>t$6VÀ>t3:t ãù 45!@EžuſXŀ>t c.[4%!@!@!ù 4%!@3Ҁ>t(ܛ676/6GtB+ àãÀ>tÀCPUv仇F FS^(sކĉFPUvS.03F2>uu ttu tu t"ètPF=uX F%8=Xu4n []uXPS6G6G[XVSQRW^Nӊ̀8tRVu u@uu4tt 'u ?6;6u 6<tJVt u5 t+6;6u,6;6u^ 6 uP t>Jy.J-6;6t# ,6;6u 6Vu uuFʀPy uʋu$˛tÀFf_ZY[^g$_ZY[^QNtmN8t t00uTt?6;6uG 6 Y$-~Nt!Fun~~t >@Nn3ɉNNNNNPF%=Xs@u\@WVQS׃>t>VNـ؀t 8v ~~~FNF^[Y^_> Su8u1u+u$uuuu u@u.0 uL![Xϣ%<>t. á3:t >$? %% >t >  ..
