OnTop II    (TM) Copyright 1993, Phillips Design

Shareware Version 2.0cs   8/27/93


You have just unzipped OnTop II (tm), the easy to use window management tool 
from Phillips Design.

OnTop grew out of necessity; as a programmer I often needed a DOS window or
the Notepad handy. I also liked to run with full sized windows - so clicking
off of the notepad would make it disappear!!

Improvements in OnTop II...

Much smaller files... total less than 16K instead of over 300K!
Much faster... code has been rewritten for greater efficiency.
Two Year Registration... register OnTop II and you can download and use
                         any subsequent shareware versions for two years!


To install, just copy the two program files, ontop2.exe and otdos.pif, into 
your Windows directory. 

Next, start windows,and click on the group that you want to install OnTop II
into. (Accessories is good.) From the Program Manager, choose File|New, then 
click OK on the default <Program Item> selection. A dialog box will appear; 
the description could be "OnTop II", or anything else you'd like to call it. 
The command line must be "ontop2.exe", preceded with a path if the program is 
not in the Windows directory. Choose OK and you're ready to run.

(P.S. Don't include the quotes around file names!)


NOTE:
There is a file called otdos.pif included with OnTop II. This is a Program 
Information File, that tells Windows how to run a DOS program. In this case
the DOS program is simply a DOS window. You can use the Windows PIF Editor
to change the settings in otdos.pif, if you don't like the way it came. You 
could also modify otdos.pif to start a DOS batch file that runs your favorite
old DOS program...
