 Running the DOS version of Blinker under Windows
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Blinker automatically senses the environment in which it is being run, and
 can run as both a Windows and a DOS program. To use Blinker from the DOS
 command line, simply type BLINKER like any other DOS program, and this will
 load and run BLINKER.EXE as a DOS program.

 The automatic detection of Windows programs by Windows 95/98 and Windows NT
 causes BLINKER.EXE to always run as a Windows program, even from a DOS box.
 For this reason, the file BLINKER.COM has been provided to ensure that
 Blinker runs as a DOS program from a DOS prompt or from a DOS batch file.
 When BLINKER is typed at the DOS prompt with no extension, DOS will load and
 run BLINKER.COM in preference to BLINKER.EXE, since it looks for .COM files
 before .EXE files.

 Alternatively, the DOS configuration program BLICFG.EXE can be used to set
 the operating system flag in the BLINKER.EXE header to DOS only, preventing
 it from ever running as a Windows program. Run BLICFG /XD to set the
 BLINKER.EXE operating system to DOS only, or BLICFG /XW to reset it back to
 the default of Windows, allowing it to run as both a Windows and a DOS
 program.

 To use Blinker as a Windows program, simply set up an icon or short cut for
 BLINKER.EXE with the appropriate command line, and Blinker will run as a
 Windows program when the icon is selected. In addition, the `Press any key'
 box displayed when the Windows version of Blinker finishes linking can be
 disabled by adding the BATCH link script command to the link script file or
 to the command line.
