You can configure each image file in such as bitmap(.BMP), jpeg(.JPG), and gif(.GIF) in the Wall. Choose TILE, SIZED or NORMAL during configuration. The Wall writes an extended attribute for each and displays the .BMP as configured.

Please email any questions, opinions, ideas, reports, etc. regarding the Wall to my address:

Please feel free to write me anything you mentioned.

1. Create a subdirectory
   ex. [x:\]md Wall
2. Move or copy Wall221r.zip to the directory created in action a.
3. Unzip Wall221r.zip using your favorite zip utility
4. Run install.cmd from a OS/2 command line.
   ex. [x:\Wall\]install
5. Now you can return to the WorkPlaceShell.
   The Wall is automatically added to your StartUp folder.
6. Double-click the Wall Program Referenced Object to start the Wall.

• This installation does not alter your config.sys.
• Wall upgrades can be installed over existing Wall installations.
• No other steps (such as rebooting your computer) are required.

Caution:
This application requires the installation of "VROBJ.dll." You can download this file from the WATCOM home page.

• Watcom VX-Rexx Technical Support Home Page
• Watcom VX-Rexx Library

1. Close the Wall.
2. Delete all files in the directory you have given to the Wall.
   ex. [x:\]del x:\Wall\*.*
3. Remove the directory you have given to the Wall.
   ex. [x:\]rd Wall

With the exception of EA data, all Wall files remain in the home subdirectory, including WALL.ini.

1. Select the bitmap directory:
   The Wall automatically uses the \os2\bitmap directory. You can select another directory by typing in full path of the directory or by using the `Drive' button and with `Directory' list. Either way you gets the same result.
2. Select the bitmap subdirectory:
   You can also appoint the subdirectories by checking the `SubDirectory' box, however, the selection of subdirectories will be automatically set under the parent directory which you select.
3. Be sure to check the buttons located on the top of `Bitmap File List' applied to the file types you may use for your desktop, in such as the use of `.bmp', `.gif', and `.jpg' otherwise such types of files might not be appeared on your desktop appropriately.
4. Order your bitmaps:
   Your bitmaps will appear in alphabetical order when you check `Sequence'. Check `Random' if you prefer the random appearence of backgrounds.
5. The `Preview area' shows the currently selected bitmap.
   You can see the image in full by checking `Resize Bitmap'. If .gif or .jpg file is selected, then preview window shows only thumbnail.

1. Select seconds, minutes or hours. Then use the slider to select the number of units(1-60) desired.
2. You can set it by using the `Timer selector'. It allows you to easy setting in each 10 minutes period up to one hundred twenty minutes (2 hours). Additionally, you can set it more than such two (2) hours by editing the Wall.ini (see `The Secret of Wall.ini'). There might be no theological limitation of the interval time if you challenge editing the Wall.ini.
3. The set of the interval and the time remains will be shown in the each window: Interval; Remaining.

1. You can set your own color mix by moving each color sliders up and down. Watch the frame of the `Preview Window' until the desired color appears.
2. Check the `Accept' button once you find the desired combination.
3. Check the `Color Only' box to change colors only. BMP backgrounds will not appear using this option.
4. Checking the `Random Color' box allows the Wall to select colors at random.

1. Check the `Speaker Icon' to set "ON"; Uncheck to turn off sound.(The sound icon is blue when on, gray when off.)
2. To use optional .wav files, select your own sound directory by typing the directory path into the "Sound Dir" field. When multiple .wav files reside in your subdirectory, the files are played in random.
3. `Current' is the default setting.

1. Start the Wall minimized by checking the `Minimized Startup' check box.
2. Change backgrounds at startup by checking `Change at Startup'.
3. Use Windows-type bitmaps (rather than the OS/2) by checking `Use Windows Bitmap' (Try this check box if you have a problem of viewing selected bitmaps.)
4. Check the `Check Screen Size Everytime' when you change your desktop size (Size of screen). Do not need this option to be checked otherwise.

1. Check the `Use Bitmap EA' check box.
2. Select .BMP file in the `Bitmap List Box'.
3. Choose tiled/normal/sized (select the Background Color as well when choosing Normal) click `Accept'. Now the individual settings you selected are maintained in the EA of the selected bitmap file.
4. You can accomplish most of the above functions by using `Key Commands'. `Key Command' are available when the focus is in the `Bitmap List Box'. Below are the five (5) key commands you can use:
   Ctrl + C : Clear EA Data
   Ctrl + N : Set Normal mode
   Ctrl + S : Set Sized mode
   Ctrl + T : Set Tiled mode
   Ctrl + U : Change Use/Unused.
   

If the set interval is over one hour, the FIRST change will be the next xx:00.
Say, you set 1h20min. for the interval and start the program at 09:23, the FIRST change will be at 10:00 rahter than 10:43. Then the program will change the bitmap every 1h20min.(80min.) after then.

Notice:
This function still not check `second', so there are maximum 59seconds difference by startup time.

1. You can terminate the Wall by pressing the `Go ahead...' when you see the confirmation popup menu after you pressed the `Exit' button.
2. You can cancel the such termination by pressing the `Stop...' when you see the confirmation popup menu. (Thank you)

Caution:
Be sure to back up WALL.ini before editing.
Please do not touch it unless you must and know what you're doing.

• UseEAArea: Set the field to use the EA area of bitmap file. No tests have done other than the `.COMMENT' field. So alteration is not recommended in this section.

10m;20m;30m;40m;50m;1h;1h10m;1h20m;1h30m;1h40m;1h50m;2h.

The word "m" means "minute". The word "h" stands "hour" (No seconds will be available in this setting.)
Separate each parameter with a semicolon(;).
For Example, you want to add 15minutes to these parameters,
then;

10m;15m;20m;30m;40m;50m;1h;1h10m;1h20m;1h30m;1h40m;1h50m;2h
