Just a brief outline of how the PIP app operates.

Invoking
========

To invoke this example application type the following command
                PIP

Initialisation
==============

The TVs MUST be there. If there is no TV + corresponding driver then the
app will not start !

The configuration of the TV screens to display is held in a file called
TVPOS.INI

This initialisation file tells the application the order
in which to display the TVs. The following is an example ini file :-

-------- Initialisation File for Example 4 of the PPTOOLKT v1.0 --------

Line 1 contains the device name & instance of the TVs contained in the top row.
Line 2 contains the device name & instance of the TVs contained in the second row.
Line 3 contains the device name & instance of the TVs contained in the third row.
Line 4 contains the device name & instance of the TVs contained in the bottom row.

Each device in the same row must be separated by one space only.
For example :-

celeb1 celeb2

N.B.
  Any of the above should contain a zero (0) if do not require a TV in
  that particular row.

For example :-
  If your required output is as in this diagram

        ---------------------------------
        |               |               |
        |  Celebrity 1  |  Prism 1      |
        ---------------------------------
        |                               |
        |            HighQ 1            |
        ---------------------------------

  then the file would look as follows :-
celeb1 prism1
highq1

The above ini file would tell the application to divide the screen into two
rows, the first containing TV screens for devices 1 & 2, the second containing a
TV screen for device 3.


Resizing TVs within PiP
=======================

It should be CUA compliant.

To resize any of the TVs, place the pointer over one of the yellow
sizing bars, once the resizing pointer appears over the sizing
bars, press down mouse button 1 and 'drag' the bar to the position required. All
TVs either side of this bar will now resize accordingly.

Remote Control
==============

Click button 2 (right mouse button).

To invoke the remote control for any of the TVs place the remote pointer over a
part of the TV required and press mouse button 2. This opens the remote FOR THAT
TV. To use the remote with another TV you have to close the remote & then
repeat the operation over that TV.
