SCLAUNCH.SCR:

SCLAUNCH is a screen saver that allows other applications to be launched
when the screen saver is activated.  This allows you to tailor your screen
saver to whatever you would like to display on your desktop.  The most common
use of this utility is to launch a slide presentation, multimedia clip, sound
wave, etc. For example, you could setup SCLAUNCH to launch a slide presenter
that loops continously and provide product demonstration at product shows
whenever the desktop isn't used. This saves you from having to load the slide
repeatedly.

For this release,  a Visual Basic application BMPDISP.EXE is provided as an
example of how SCLAUNCH may be used. BMPDISP.EXE simply displays a bitmap
moving around the screen at 1 second intervals, it ends the display as soon
as the mouse is moved or a key is pressed.

To set this up, set up SCLAUNCH from the Control Panel Desktop by providing
BMPDISP.EXE as the application to be launched by SCLAUNCH.


BMPDISP.EXE:

BMPDISP is a simple Visual Basic 3.0 application that displays a default
bitmap and moving it in 1 second intervals to provide a simple screen saver
application. It ends the display and unloads itself as soon as the mouse is
moved or a key is pressed.

You can customize the bitmap that is displayed by launching BMPDISP.EXE with
a bitmap filename command line parameter. i.e. to display the Windows
wallpaper WINLOGO.BMP bitmap launch BMPDISP using the command:
BMPDISP.EXE WINLOGO.BMP

You can specify the complete path and filename of the bitmap. If it can't
find the bitmap you specified it will automatically display its own default
bitmap.

Imagine, you can now scan a picture and use it to display your favorite
picture on your desktop. Used with SCLAUNCH.SCR it becomes a screen saver.
