Program Icons and Autoplay

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Graeme,

You need to create icon files with special icon software, such as  
IconBuilder, IconoGrapher, LiguidIcon, or IconWorkshop. IconBuilder  
is a little complex, IconoGrapher easy but created bad icons for  
Windows, LiquicIcon is free but not very intuitive, and I have heard  
many good things about IconWorkshop.

Once you have created your icon files, you have to tell the  
Revolution Standalone builder which files to use for icons. I am sure  
you can figure this out yourself.

You can autostart a CD on Windows by including a text file in the  
root of the CD containing the line: open=setup.exe. Setup.exe would  
be the path to the application you want to start.

There was a trick on Mac to autostart CDs. I don't know if this is  
still possible and it is generally seen as bad behaviour by Mac users.

Best regards,

Mark
