Programstart of the StormC-environment
**************************************

   The system is started through the program @{b}StormCPP@{ub}. This is only a
loader, and serves the purpose of started the various program modules.
Since this can take some time, depending on the system, a small
startgraphic is shown in the mean time, where the currently loading
program is shown.

   On Amiga-systems with few colours on screen only a small window
appears, informing you that the various modules of StormC are being
loaded.

   First the Tooltypes are read, and the program will try to react
accordingly.  The tooltypes of a program are set in the icon, and also
saved in the icon. Simply click in the icon @{b}StormCPP@{ub} and select the
menu-item "Icons/Information" from the Workbench-menu.

   The following tooltypes can be set:

   * QUIET

     The tooltype QUIET suppresses the startup-graphic. The small
     window which is shown with few colors will also not be shown.

   * PUBSCREEN

     With the tooltype PUBSCREEN you can assign a public screen to
     StormC, where the development environment must be started and
     shown. Just like the Workbench, public screens can be used by
     multiple programs simultaneously.

     The creation of public screens is done by a program which is
     started independently of StormC. If you agreed to install the
     @{b}StormScreenManager@{ub} when installing StormC, a small program was
     copied to the drawer @{b}WBStartup@{ub}, which takes care of this.

   * SAVEMEM oder QUICK

     This tooltype forbids StormCPP to load all program modules at
     once. The full list of program modules contains about 10 programs
     - starting will take very long, and much memory is used.

     When required, the program modules will be loaded by the
     StormShell, and removed in low-memory conditions.

   * GOLDED

     Instead of the StormED, the editor GoldED from the @{b}GOLDED:@{ub} drawer
     will be loaded. Since GoldED is used similar to StormED, and not
     as usual as the control-centre for the compiler, the editor must
     be loaded memory-resident.

     Please in GoldED set the settings for "various" to "resident" in
     the "Config/Various...", and save the settings.

   Up to StormC version 3 the help-system HotHelp was supported, and
could be activated with the tooltype HOTHELP. With StormC 4 the
built-in help (based on AmigaGuideŽ) has been greatly improved. The
support for HotHelp, which is not being developed anymore by Maxon, is
not possible anymore.
