MDSTDEMO.ZIP by Paul Ligeski
  
  This ZIP file contains the source code and resources for the about
box that describes the MEDSTAT System2 program.  It's a good example
of using bitmaps, animation, multiple fonts, and pyrotechnics.

The ZIP file is broken up as follows:

         CREDITSW.CLS : Source code for the about box
         ABOUT.ACT    : Hook to run about box from "About Actor..."
         MEDSTAT.BMP  : MEDSTAT logo bitmap resource
         FIREWORK.BMP : Firework bitmap resource
         BITMAP.RC    : Hook into ACTOR.RC to compile bitmaps
         STRTABLE.RC  : Hook into ACTOR.RC's STRINGTABLE
         BLDEXE.BAT   : Rebuild ACTOR.EXE with new ACTOR.RC
         ABOUT.LOD    : About box load file
         README.TXT   : This file

Instructions:

1) Copy CREDITSW.CLS into ACTOR\CLASSES
2) Copy ABOUT.ACT into ACTOR\ACT
3) Copy MEDSTAT.BMP, FIREWORK.BMP, BITMAP.RC, and STRTABLE.RC into ACTOR\RES
4) Add to ACTOR.RC:
      rcinclude BITMAP.RC      /* Add just after other BITMAP resources */
      rcinclude STRTABLE.RC    /* Add *inside* the STRINGTABLE section  */
5) Run BLDEXE.BAT to rebuild ACTOR.EXE with the new ACTOR.RC      
6) Go into a clean ACTOR.IMA and type:
      load("ABOUT.LOD");
      load();       
7) Select "About Actor..." and watch the fireworks.

This is just a fun demo taken from the Whitewater Group's creativity
department.  Hope you like it.
