 Introduction
 ------------
 This is the documentation for the CvS/2 - Virtual Screen.  I recommend 
 that you read it!  
 
 CvS/2 is a Virtual Desktop utility for the OS/2 2.x Workplace Shell.  
 When you start the program you will see a 9 button grid.  Each button 
 represents a screen (of your current videoadapter resolution).  The 
 current screen is marked with an "X".  
 
 When you press on of the buttons (move the cursor over it and click 
 mouse button 1) you move to that virtual location.  (In this version 
 you can not see your open windows in the CvS/2 application, ...but 
 just wait for the future versions).  Your Workplace Shell Desktop 
 (icons) will always be visible, and also windowed but hidden non-PM
 allications are not located relational to CvS/2, but to your Workplace
 Shell Desktop position.  This way you can easily get hold of those hidden
 objects (where ever you are).  
 
 Features
 --------
 
 Choose "Toggle Frame Controls" from the "Settings" menu to hide title 
 and menu bars. You can also use Alt-F, or double click mouse button 2.
 The latter two methods will also get the title and menu bars visible 
 again.
 
 Move the CvS/2 window by pressing mouse button 2 (inside the 9-button 
 grid) and dragging the window.  
 
 By hiding the title and menu bars and resizing the window, you can
 position CvS/2 for example in the lower corner of the screen, and so
 out of the way.
 
 CvS/2 will "remember" it's last position and virtual screen.  If you 
 put a CvS/2 Program Object in your startup folder, it will start where 
 you last left it.  You may also Shutdown your system without closing 
 CvS/2 (because Shutdown closes it for you).  Remember to put the 
 line SET RESTARTOBJECTS = NO, in your CONFIG.SYS file before SET
 AUTOSTART = PROGRAMS, TASKLIST, FOLDERS, CONNECTIONS.
 
 Troubleshooting
 ---------------
 Recovering "lost" windows:  you may choose the "lost" program from 
 Window List and cascade the program back to the visible area (press 
 mouse button 2, choose "CASCADE").  
 
 Starting the program
 --------------------
 To start CvS/2, double click on the program object.
 
 Program requirements
 --------------------
 To use CvS/2, you must be running OS/2 2.0 (or later), and of
 course Workplace Shell as your shell.

 Registering
 -----------
 CvS/2 - Virtual Desktop is in its current version a freeware program.  
 As this is yet only a beta version, I do not require you to register 
 it even if you should choose to keep and use it.  However, it would be 
 nice to get a postcard from your part of the world!  
 
 Since this version of CvS/2 - Virtual Desktop is freeware, you are 
 permitted (and encouraged) to pass on the file CVS01.ZIP. You may NOT 
 modify this file (or its individual components) before passing it on.

 Why I wrote CvS/2
 --------------------
 Since nobody had yet released a Virtual Desktop utility, and I find my 
 screen a little tiny.  I also had to write a program as an assigment 
 for my C-language course at school, and had the opportunity to choose 
 what to do.  I also wanted to learn about writing OS/2 Workplace Shell 
 compliant programs, and this was the hard way.  Belive it or not, but 
 THIS IS MY FIRST C-PROGRAM EVER.
