Banner
--------

A Win32 assembly demo, which is based on a "C" example in 
Herbert Schildt's "Advanced Windows Programming in C".

Here we look at two methods of creating an animated banner. The first program Banner1 uses 
a timer and is very slow in presentation, due to a Windows limitation on how fast timer
messages can be processed. The second program Banner2 gets around this by making use of 
idle cycles which are available for use while other things are going on. It is MUCH faster.

Files included are:-

Banner1.exe	The slow demo
Banner1.asm	Source
Banner2.exe	The fast demo
Banner2.asm	Source
Makefile	(Change name to either Banner1 or Banner2) 	

The size of the programs are less than 4k.

This is basically an instructive graphics demo, but can be developed into more specialised 
applications.
