WARPedBMP Version 1.2

NOTE:
This package does not contain the VROBJ.DLL file, see INSTALLX.TXT for
details.


This file contains a very brief set of instructions to allow you to
get WARPedBMP installed and running with little effort.  Detailed
instructions are contained in Manual.Txt

WARPedBMP will store the BitMaps that are used for the WPS DeskTop
BackGround Display in a compressed archive file and will change the
DeskTop BackGround to a new picture/BitMap each time that the system
is started or rebooted.  If using OS/2 Warp, the DeskTop BackGround
can also be automaticly changed at selected time intervals while the
system is running.


1.  Installation:  The installation file INSTALL.CMD will install
WARPedBMP to the location of your choice, if you have a previous version
of AutoBMP (WARPedBMP's former name) it will update that version.  It will
install WARPedBMP and create all necessary DeskTop objects/icons for it.

If you received WARPedBMP in a compressed archive file, uncompress the
file to a floppy disk or to a temporary directory on your hard drive and
then run INSTALL.CMD.


2.  Once the install program has completed and WARPedBMP is running then:

    a.  Use the SELECT button to select one or more BitMaps to be placed
into the WARPedBMP archive.

    b.  Use the ADD button to add these BitMaps to the WARPedBMP archive.

    c.  Select CHANGE from the ToolBar, then select LOAD NEXT BITMAP FROM
ARCHIVE, this will create the file WARPBMP.BMP in the OS/2 BitMap
directory.

    d1.  IF YOU ARE USING WARPedBMP WITH OS/2 WARP, then you will now see
that the WPS BackGround has now changed to the BitMap that was loaded from
the WARPedBMP archive.  Installion is now complete, a new BitMap will be
placed on the DeskTop each time that your system is started

    d2.   IF YOU ARE NOT USING OS/2 WARP, then you must open the
WPS DeskTop Settings Folder, go to the BackGround Tab and set the BitMap
selection to the WARPBMP.BMP.  You should now see the selected BitMap
displayed on the DeskTop.  Close the settings folder, REPEAT STEP c. ABOVE.
This will load the next BitMap into the WARPBMP.BMP file.  This BitMap will
be used the next time the system is rebooted.  The installation is now
complete, each time that the system is started, the DeskTop will display
a new BitMap/picture.

    e.  If you are using OS/2 Warp see the file Manual.Txt for instructions
on setting the timed mode and how to select the image display mode for
each BitMap to be:  Normal, Tiled, or Scaled.

SEE THE MANUAL.TXT FILE FOR DETAILS OF ALL WARPedBMP FUNCTIONS



Additional Note:

All BitMaps are stored in the file WARPBMP.ZIP or .LZH in the
WARPBMP directory (updated AutoBMP installations are stored in the
directory AutoBMP).

If you desire to add a large number of BitMaps at one time to the WARPedBMP
archive file WARPBMP.ZIP or .LZH, you may do this using the OS/2 command
line to run the archiver program that you selected when you installed
WARPedBMP, then to make WARPedBMP aware of these new BitMaps, Select
SETUP from the ToolBar and then select RESET WARPedBMP ARCHIVE, WARPedBMP
will reread the archive and update it's INI file to reflect the new BitMaps.
This is an alternative to adding them one at a time with the SELECT/ADD
buttons, if you are creating an archive with a large number of BitMaps.
