Screen Play - Random Screen Archive Manager Version 1.0
Screen play is a simple program that didn't take a lot of time to create,
but replaces some of those ShareWare versions floating around out there.
It is designed to be setup and then requires no additional thought. PKZip
or ARJ is required to run Screen Play. Contact PKWare Inc., 9025 N.
Deerwood Dr., Brown Deer, WI 53223 for additional information. Contact
Robert K. Jung (ARJ), 2606 Village Road West, Norwood, MA 02062 for
additional information.
Copy SCRNPLAY (Screen Play) to your windows directory for ALL operation.
What does it do? Essentially, Screen Play stores all of your BMP files
used for Wallpaper in an archive file called WALLPLAY. It also stores all
or your SCR files used for Screen Savers in an archive file called SAVEPLAY.
It logs the file names in two INI files called WALLPLAY.INI and SAVEPLAY.INI.
When Screen Play is run, it randomly selects a file name from the INI file
and then extracts it from the archive file as WALLPLAY.BMP and SAVEPLAY.SCR.
That's it. Nothing fancy.
But, to get it to work randomly, it must be run before each window's
session. I use the following simple batch file for starting it.
This file has been included as a sample, just edit the Window's directory
to match your setup.
W.BAT
@ECHO OFF
C:
CD\WIN31
SCRNPLAY /W /S [/ARJ][/ZIP]
WIN /3
Now, to get it to work in Windows, you must setup the WIN.INI and the
SYSTEM.INI files to except the new Wallpaper and Screen Saver files. To
setup for the Wallpaper file, edit WIN.INI and add (change) the following
line under the [Desktop] section:
WallPaper = WALLPLAY.BMP
To setup for the Screen Saver file, edit SYSTEM.INI and add (change) the
following line under the [Boot] section:
SCRNSAVE.EXE=C:\???????\SAVEPLAY.SCR
Note: ?????? represents your windows directory.
Both of these can be setup after starting windows by using the CONTROL PANEL,
DESKTOP setup procedure. Please note that there will only be one Screen
Saver and it will NOT be called SAVEPLAY. It will display the internal
description that is stored in the file. Don't let this alarm you, just
select it.
If you enjoy this program, GREAT! Use it! If you love this program or would
like to see any changes, or just have compassion for a over-worked programmer
