Description
Windows 3.x displays a splash screen during
startup. It is included in WIN.COM, which again is made out 3 source files.
One of these source files is called VGALOGO.RLE.
There are also logo files for EGA and
Hercules displays. How these are stored not covered here. Actually, I just
don't know.
Other files than ...LOGO.RLE with the .RLE
extension are most likely in a different file format. Windows 95 uses SYS
files |

Cross-Checking
Software
This section is for programmers, who wish
to cross-check their implementation with others. This is an incomplete
list of programs, which are available as freeware / shareware / try-before-buy
etc.
The following software is able to decode
RLEs::
-
MS-Windows itself, once the .RLE is converted
to WIN.COM. (obviously not freeware)
-
any BMP decoder.
