About WinAlbum

I got the idea for WinAlbum because I wanted the ability to display images quickly and sequentially without going through the File/Open/OK routine.  Sure there are lots of packages that have a "slide show" feature.  But most of those require timely configuration or cost lots of money.

WinAlbum uses buttons to toggle through a series of pre-specified images.  It supports BMP, PCX, and TGA file formats. Scrollbars can be used to pan images if necessary.


Installation

Installation is easy:

1.	Extract the ZIP archive into an empty directory.

2.	Move all the files with DLL and VBX extensions into your \windows\system directory.  Do not leave more than one copy of Ctl3dv2.dll on your machine.

3.	Copy the winalbum.ini and sample bitmap files into your \windows directory.

4.	Create a program manager icon by dragging the EXE file from File Manager and dropping it in the group you wish to see the icon.


Instructions

1.	Using any standard text editor (notepad), Modify the winalbum.ini file to specify your own bmp, pcx, or tga images.  The winalbum.ini file must be located in your \windows directory.  You for each bitmap entry (pic1=, pic2=, etc.) you can specify the path and filename.  If no path information is present, the program will assume that the file resides in the directory in which the program was launched.  The program reads from pic1 through pic5.  The pic#= entries must reside under the [bitmaps] section of the ini file.

2.	Buttons

Arrow buttons:	Displays the next (or previous) image in the ini file.

INI button:	Loads notepad with the ini file loaded.

"A" button:	About Dialog.

Scrollbars

There are two horizontal scrollbars that can be used to pan the image inside the window.  The top bar scrolls horizontally, and the bottom vertically.
