LOW REZ RUNNER v1.1

by Dan Panke (91-12-08)

This program is 'FREE'. Distribute it wherever and to whomever you
wish. The only restriction is that 'LOW_REZ.PRG', 'LOW_REZ.INF' and
the 'LOW_REZ.TXT' files must accompany each other.


    LOW REZ RUNNER is a simple program but it can be quite handy when
    it comes to running programs from menus. LOW REZ RUNNER changes
    the screen resolution to LOW (if you're in medium), and executes
    the desired file found in an ASCII text file called 'LOW_REZ.INF'.
    If you are already in LOW resolution the program will be run
    without a change in resolution. If LOW REZ RUNNER cannot find the
    'LOW_REZ.INF' file or the file specified in LOW_REZ.INF, the
    program offer you a File Selector Box to chose a file to load.

    I use LOW REZ RUNNER on my hard drive through GOGO ST. I have a
    few programs that work in low rez only and, for the most part,
    LOW REZ RUNNER allows me to use these programs from the GOGO ST
    menu. There is still the problem of File Selectors and windows
    not positioned properly but I can normally live with that.

    Place your created LOW_REZ.INF text file in the same directory as
    LOW_REZ.PRG. You may have quite a few copies of LOW_REZ.PRG
    around as you may wish to place it in every folder containing a
    program that's required to run in low resolution.

    NOTE: If your LOW resolution program has drop down menus you may
    have to move the mouse off the left hand side of the screen. The
    mouse will appear again on the right hand side of the screen and
    offer you access to the menus.

    UPDATES:

    Version 1.1- added the File Selector Box should the 'LOW_REZ.INF'
    or its contents not be found.
