This is a sample of a splash screen that I use in a number
of my applications. It demonstrates a number of API functions
and techniques (exploding windows, extract of icons and user information)
that can be used in other contexts. It is plain VB code, all the special
work is done using API calls.

I owe most of the functionality to the many individuals who have taken
the time to upload other code. I am a sloppy bookkeeper so I
do not have the names of everyone to thank.

I have another form that I use for debugging that I will need to rework
to distribute (it uses a number of custom controls). I will try to post 
it in the near future. 
 
Enjoy the application. Feel free to use it in whole or in part as you need.
I do not wish any compensation, but would be happy to 
receive email with any questions, comments, etc. 
If you find this REAL useful, make a donation to a favorite charity.

I have reworked the code to explode a form (changed the process of
calculating rectangles) and have added a new function to implode
a form. The implosion seems a little slow, and I am not real happy
with the "intermediate" look of the desktop. Perhaps someone can 
suggest a better way to do this?
