WIN3LOAD
Copyright (c) 1991 Silin Ma
All Rights Reserved.
Version 1.00
July 1, 1991
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNINGS:
WIN3LOAD is written for MS Windows 3.0. I have no idea how it behaves
under other versions of Windows.
WHAT IS IT?
The keyname "load" in WIN.INI file of MS Windows 3.0 is very restrictive:
you can only load one utility. WIN3LOAD allows you to load up
to 26 utility programs at once if you specify "load=wl.exe". WIN3LOAD
adds, delete or load utility programs to/off/from the file WIN3LOAD.INI.
WHY IS IT WRITTEN?
Many utility programs should be placed after "load=" in WIN.INI file.
However you can only use "load=" for one program. WIN3LOAD is my attempt
to load several utilities at starting time after I got Turbo Pascal for Windows
from Borland in May.
How to Install
Copy WIN3LOAD.EXE and WL.EXE to windows' directory. Add WIN3LOAD.EXE to
the program manager. If you want to use WIN3LOAD to load all the utility
programs in file WIN3LOAD.INI, specify "load=WL.EXE" in the file WIN.INI.
How to Run
Click WIN3LOAD's icon or run it from program manager's run command.
WIN3LOAD.EXE has a special command line switch "n" which tells WIN3LOAD to load
the programs in WIN3LOAD.INI then quit. For example you can type in
" WIN3LOAD /N" you see a input box after `Command Line'. In fact WL.EXE is
the command "WIN3LOAD /n". You must use WL.EXE after "load=" because "load="
does not accept switches.
