How do you turn off the AccuTerm LOGO that starts-up when you launch AccuTerm?

Although its not well documented, you can customize the splash screen that displays when opening the AccuTerm application. You need to modify the atwin.ini file in the ...\Program Files\Atwin folder. Just open atwin.ini with notepad (double-click the file name in Windows Explorer). Then add a

     [Custom]

section to the file. Add the following line to he [Custom] section:

     Splash=NO                 <-   no splash screen

or

     Splash=mypicture.jpg     <- use personalized image for splash screen

Other items you can add to the [Custom] section are:

     Icon=iconfile.ico            <- displays a custom icon for the application in the title bar and task bar

     Title=new window title     <- displays a custom title in the window title bar

Pete,

Is there an equivalent way to do this in AT7?

Also we had modified menu.ini until AT2k2 to hook in the "Custexit" script -- to disable the windows "X" when there is an active session. We'd also like to do this (or something similar) on AT7

Update: Oops -- I had modified the AT7.ini file and added the custom section and it didn't seem to work -- but now it seems to so I must not have restarted AT7 properly.

Hi Fred -

Glad you got the splash screen working. There is actually a setting for this in the Windows pane of the settings dialog. You need to run-as-admin to change this setting as it is saved in the .ini file in the program directory.

The menu trick is pretty much the same - just use the menu customize tool to add your custexit script into the menu and save it. The new menu is either menu70.ini or menu71.ini depending on which release of AccuTerm 7 you are running.

Thanks,

Pete

    PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):"%2":
    INPUT ATWIN
    INIFILE="ATWIN.INI"
    IF INDEX(ATWIN,"ATWIN7",1)>0 THEN
        INIFILE=field(atwin,"\",3)
        inifile=inifile:".ini"
    end
    pdl=@userno
    DATI=""
    CALL FTS("R,K",ATWIN,INIFILE,DATI,ERRORE)
    IF ERRORE<>"" THEN STOP
    OK=""
    for i=1 to dcount(dati,@am)
        if dati<i>="[custom]" then ok<1>=1
        if dati<i>="splash=no" then ok<2>=1
        if dati<i>[1,6]="title=" then ok<3>=1
    next i
!! CRT OK
    SW=0
    if ok<1><>"1" then
        dati<-1>="[custom]"
        SW=1

        SW=1
    end
    IF OK<3><>"1" THEN
        DATI<-1>='TITLE="YOUR TITLE" '
        sw=1
    end
    if sw=0 then stop
    target=ATWIN:INIFILE
    print char(27):char(2):"CORT;":target:char(13):
    FOR I=1 TO DCOUNT(dati,@AM)
        print dati<I>
    NEXT I
    print char(27):char(2):"CX"
    STOP
    END
