     INTRODUCTION

        Mark30 is a Windows 3.0 utility that marks old Windows applications
        so that  they will run  under Windows  3.0 without the  Windows 3.0
        warning  message.  This utility does no checking of the application
        being marked, except to verify that it is a Windows application.

        There are  two flags  in the  header of a  Windows executable  file
        (called the  "new executable format").   The memory  flag indicates
        that the application makes clean use of memory, thus enabling it to
        run under Windows 3.0 in  protected mode.  The font flag  indicates
        whether  the application can handle the proportional system font in
        Windows  3.0.   Mark30 allows you  to set  and unset  both of these
        flags.

        Many  Windows 2.x application work fine under Windows 3.0, but many
        do not.   If you  have a Windows  2.x application that  works under
        Windows  3.0, and  you are  tired of  the annoying  warning message
        Windows 3.0 gives you each  time you run your program,  Mark30 will
        save you.

        IMPORTANT!  IMPORTANT!  IMPORTANT!

        Just  because  a  Windows  2.x application  APPEARS  to  work under
        Windows  3.0 don't assume it is completely compatible, there may be
        situations where the application will fail!!!!

        USE THIS  PROGRAM AT YOUR  OWN RISK!  Kindlco  Software Systems and
        Charles E. Kindel, Jr.  ARE NOT responsible for any  damages caused
        by the use of this program.

     USAGE

        To  use  Mark30,  simply   start  it  as  you  would   any  Windows
        application.   When it  starts up  you  are presented  with a  file
        selection list box, two check boxes, and several buttons.

        Select a file  either by typing a  name in the edit control,  or by
        clicking  on  a name  in  the  list  box.    You  may  also  change
        directories  and  drives   as  you  normally  would  in  a  Windows
        application.

        Once you  have a file selected, choose the flags you want set.  The
        font flag can only be set if the memory flag is set.

        Press the  "Mark File"  button to  mark  the application.   If  the
        application you choose is  not a Windows application a  message box
        will appear informing you of this.  If the application IS a Windows
        program a warning dialog box will appear asking you to confirm your
        choice.

        Once a file is marked, it can be "unmarked" by  reversing the check
        boxes.

        That's all there is to it!
