Shareware

Shareware is a marketing technique that allows and encourages free sharing or copying of programs as a method of distribution. This practice benefits both users and developers. Users can test programs and become familiar with them before deciding whether to buy them. Shareware programs are usually less expensive than commercial software because there is very little advertising expense; most of the price you pay actually goes to the developer. However, none of this would be possible if the users did not do their part by paying for the programs they decide to use. We who write shareware depend on the good faith of you, the user, for our profit. When you pay for this and other shareware programs, you allow developers to continue making high quality, low-cost software available to everyone.


Requirements

Corporate Logo Screen Saver requires Microsoft Windows 3.1.  There are no special requirements.  Memory usage is approximately 60k plus the size of the bitmap  logo selected. The following are required to run Microsoft Windows 3.1:

A personal computer 80286 or higher

640K of conventional memory, plus 256K of extended memory

6 MB of free disk space

1 floppy disk drive

The Win32 version of sscorp (SSC32) is intended to be run under Microsoft Windows NT or Chicago (when released).


Bitmap

A bitmap is a picture or any graphic data that can be displayed on your monitor.  Bitmaps are stored on your disk with the extension ".BMP."  Corporate Logo Screen Saver will read a bitmap file that contains your logo from the disk and display it when your computer is idle. Only Windows BMP files are supported. OS/2 bitmaps are not supported, but can be converted to Windows BMP format with Windows Paintbrush.

control.ini
CONTROL.INI variables

The settings that were specified in the Setup Dialog of the Screen Saver are stored in the member CONTROL.INI in the windows directory.  Here is an example of the Screen Saver.Corporate section.

[Screen Saver.Corporate]

PWProtected=0

Filename=C:\WINDOWS\CIRCUIT.BMP

LogoSpeed=4

The string within the brackets identifies the application to which these variables apply.

PWProtected can be "0" if no password is required and "1" if a password is required to stop the screen saver.

Filename indicates the path and filename for the bitmap to be displayed when the screen saver is active.

LogoSpeed determines how fast the bitmap will move across the screen.  Set values from 1 to 10.  If you are performing background communications, set the speed to a lower value to prevent the screen saver from using too much computer time.

NoConfig  Specify NoConfig=1 to prevent the user from configuring the screen saver.

The password is stored in the section [ScreenSaver].  The profile string name is Password=.  This password is the common Microsoft screen saver password.  Screen saver passwords are controlled by Windows NT, not this program.
