    Runway 1.2b is part of the FileBoy family of Windows applications from
    Homegrown Software.  Try it out.  If you decide to keep it, send a
    check for $5.00, not much in this day and age. If you decide not to,
    you must remove Runway from your computer and dispose of all copies.

    For registering, you will receive a registered copy which doesn't
    have the opening "reminder" screen (but notice that that's the only nag
    you'll ever see in Runway). Your copy can be had via mail or modem, your
    choice. You will receive prompt upgrade notices, and upgrades will be
    available for little more than the cost of a floppy (cheap 'cause I buy
    bulk) and postage. And, of course, you will be entitled to free support,
    advice, or friendly chats by phone or Compuserve mail.

    Requirements:
    
    FileBoy's Runway 1.2b was written in MS Visual Basic, and thus requires
    that you have have the runtime library, VBRUN100.DLL, in a directory
    on your path. You may keep the executable and the help file in any
    directory you choose, but they MUST be in the same directory together 
    to access help. Finally, Runway 1.1 will create it's initializatiion
    file, FILEBOY.INI, in your Windows directory where it must remain.
    Of course, you could move it, but you would lose your customized
    settings (easily restored) and Runway would just create another one
    the next time you saved.
    
    ***********************************************************************
    
    The zipped file you received should contain these files:
    
                            FBRUNWAY.EXE - The executable.
                            FBRUNWAY.HLP - Runway's Help file.
                            REGISTER.TXT - A registration form.
                            FBRUNWAY.TXT - What you're reading

    You are free to distribute Runway to friends or the local BBS,
    but all four files must be included with no alterations, additions,
    or deletions.
    
    ***********************************************************************
    
    
    Setting Up Runway:

    The executable, FBRUNWAY.EXE, and the help file, FBRUNWAY.HLP, can
    be copied into any directory you wish, although your Windows directory
    is suggested home for both files.  Both files must be located in the
    same directory. Since Runway is a Visual Basic application, you must
    have the runtime DLL, VBRUN100.DLL (not included but available from
    any good BBS, usually as VBRUN.ZIP) in a directory on your DOS path.
    That's all you need...

    Since Runway 1.2b is a fairly simple (but useful!) program, and since
    everything you need to know is in the Help file, there's no point in 
    repeating what the Help file has to say. Still, a brief mention of
    a few key features may be in order:
    
    FileBoy's Runway 1.2b features:

                * Runs apps minimized or normal, with or without focus,
                  or maximized. User configurable.

                * Can exit, minimize, or remain as is on launch. User
                  configurable.

                * Stores settings in an *.INI file.

                * Manual Save or Auto-save of configuration. User
                  configurable.

                * A Windows-style Help file.

                * A Status Line to keep the user informed.

                * Maintains a custom User's Application List of up to
                  50 applications in a Windows-style combo box for even
                  quicker launches of favorite programs.

                * Now with that "3-D" look that's the rage these days.
                
                * And of course, the problems plaguing the original have
                  been taken care of.

    Runway 1.2b is basically the same as 1.2a: it fixes a few annoying but
    non-fatal bugs, has an NEW enhanced 3-D style interface, and all option
    combinations should now be possible. This version uses a new routine
    for bringing Runway to the top when On Use is set to Remain and Run App
    As is set to Normal without Focus.
