BACKGROUND
----------

I (Jari Williamsson) currently work ( almost day and night ;-) ) as a 
programmer with MicroLearn Nordic's upcoming product, "MicroLearn Game 
Pack, Volume 2" - a new 32-bit game package for OS/2 (PM). This weekend, 
I thought about making something different in OS/2, so I decided to create a 
switch utility that works in the same way as Alt-Tab in Windows. The process 
of making this utility was pretty straight-forward, and it was also fun to 
exploit some parts of OS/2 which we never use in our game programming. 
Today, I talked to the other guys here at MicroLearn Nordic, and we decided 
to make this utility public. Our excellent graphics artist (Bjorn) helped 
me with the startup bitmap and the icon.


ENJOY!!!



SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------

OS/2 2.x using Workplace Shell. 

It may work with other WPS replacements, but that has not been tested.



USAGE
-----

Place the MLSW.EXE icon in the startup folder for automatic start at 
boot time.

Make sure that the MLSDLL.DLL file is in the same directory as the executable 
file. Also make sure that the LIBPATH environment variable contains a dot 
(.) as one directory.

To activate the program, use Ctrl-Tab. Browse thru the list by holding the 
Ctrl key down and hitting the Tab key. Browse backwards by holding down the 
Shift key at the same time. To select an application, release the Ctrl key.
To cancel the selection, hit any other key (than Tab, Shift & Ctrl).

To make MicroLearn Switcher to NOT display folders in the workplace shell,
use the -f command line parameter.

If the program could't be installed, a short beep will be made. If the program
starts successfully, an intro window will be displayed for a short time.


SUPPORT
-------

There is no support on this product. We make no obligations to fix any bugs.



KNOWN PROBLEMS
--------------

There may be a problem with the "-f" switch. Folders are located in an 
undocumented way. If there is a problem, please let me know.

Some programs don't return the icon correctly. For these programs, a standard
icon is used. This can be fixed, but I currently have no time to do so.
