SCAT -- A silly but useful little VX-REXX program
-------------------------------------------------

To build:

    -- You need to have VXREZ 1.1 installed.  This lets you bind
       resources to an executable.

    -- Build the new PMEXE.EXE. If you have CSet, type
       'nmake /f makefile.ibm' to compile.  If you have
       WATCOM C, type 'wmake /f makefile.wat' to compile.

    -- The PMEXE.EXE is copied automatically into the REXX subdirectory.
       Start VX-REXX, open the SCAT.VRP project in that subdirectory
       and make an executable.  Because a copy of PMEXE.EXE is in the
       same directory as the .VRP file, VXREZ will use it instead of
       the normal VX-REXX stub file.

To run:

   Just start 'scat.exe' as you would any executable...

   What does SCAT do?  It just puts up a little image push button
   that you can place in a corner of the screen.  Press on it once
   to hide all the non-desktop windows, press it again
   to bring them back.  Very useful for people like me who have a
   lot of clutter on their screen and occasionally want to click
   on an object on the desktop....

   (It does seem to have problems with WIN-OS/2 seamless windows leaving
    crud around, but it's not clear how to get around that...)
