DOCUMENTATION FOR SEAMWIN v2.00
          --------------------------------
          By Dr. A. Olowofoyeku (Sept. 1993)


UPDATE NOTICE
-------------
This is an "optimized" version of SEAMWIN v1.00. All the Windows
resources;
      [a] the menu
      [b] the dialog box
      [c] the icon

have been stripped out of this version, and the program also becomes
INACTIVE once loaded, meaning that the memory space used by it not
only becomes free, but the system also knows that this program will not
become active again, and so it can be ignored completely. This results
in ZERO cpu cycles, and better performance. I have stripped out every
thing that can possibly be stripped out of this program, and so I am
not going to develop it any further.


INTRODUCTION
------------
OS/2 users who run seamless Windows program will have noticed that
when one seamless program is already running, others which are run
in the same VDM (this is the default for seamless Windows) load
extremely quickly. What some users have done is to keep one of their
favourite Windows programs loaded all the time. This is fine, but
with OS/2, memory should always be conserved. Enter SEAMWIN, a full
Windows program that does absolutely nothing. It is simply a shell
to be used to speed up seamless Windows, by leaving it running all
the time. It uses very little memory, and does not poll the keyboard.

An early version of this program was sent in July to a number of
people, but was not uploaded. That version did poll the keyboard,
and so was a bit detrimental to multi-tasking. This version is a
great improvement over the early version, and those who have the
early one (about 3 people) should upgrade to this version.

USE
---
To use SEAMWIN, copy the file SEAMWIN.EXE into a directory on your
hard disk, then create a WPS object for it, and then place this
object in your STARTUP folder. This means that it will be loaded when
OS/2 is booted. This adds a few seconds to your bootup process, but
then you can just forget it. Try loading seamless Windows programs,
and see how fast they load. That's all, folks.

Note that when seamless Windows programs are run in the same VDM, the
settings for the first one to be loaded seem to apply to all the rest as
well. So, whatever settings you want to have for the Windows programs
in the VDM created by loading SEAMWIN at startup should be in the
notebook settings in the WPS object created for SEAMWIN.EXE.
