2. INTRODUCTION:
   
   This utility converts a 16-color Microsoft(R) Bitmap file into a BIOS
   logo file format, and generates files to be imbeded into the system
   BIOS or stored in a non-volatile storage.

   This BIOS logo file can be stored into the flash-memory on motherboards
   using an Intel BIOS Upgrade Utility.  During BIOS Power-On-Self-Test
   (POST), the system BIOS looks for, and displays the logo on the screen.


3. REQUIREMENTS:

   This utility can only be used on motherboards that support OEM Logo
   Display and Graphics Mode Display during POST.

   This utility supports images with up to 16 different colors specified
   by Red-Green-Blue (RGB) values.  This utility only supports bitmaps
   with an even width in number of pixels.

   OEM Logo or User Flash Scan Area:  A 4 KB flash-memory user area is
   available for displaying a custom OEM logo during POST.  Since this
   area is only 4096 bytes (4 KB) in size, the *.USR (LOGODATA.USR) file
   is limited to 4224 bytes (4096 bytes + 128 bytes User File Header).


4. COMMAND-LINE PARAMETERS:

   /Fu<file>     Specify filename of .USR file
   /r<num>       Row    number (0..479)
   /c<num>       Column number (0..639)
   /jc           Center the image
   /l[sp|sm]     Create a splash screen/small logo (Default: splash screen).
   /s<num>       Logo area size in kilobytes
   /t<string>    Title string for .usr file
   /nologo       Suppress copyright message
   /display      Display logo with specified parameters
   /bg           Fill background with the first pixel
   /v            Verbose
   /?            Help
   /h            Help

   Examples:

      1.  This example displays the help screen

          SPLASH /h

      2.  This example creates a splash screen logo (/lsp), centers the
          logo (/jc), fills the background of the whole display area with
          the first pixel of the logo (/bg), stores the user file in
          "MYLOGO.USR", and displays the resulting logo to the screen
          (/display).

          SPLASH /lsp /jc /bg /FuMYLOGO.USR /display MYLOGO.BMP

      3.  This example creates a small/POST logo (/lsm), at row 100 (/r100),
          at column (/c100), and displays the logo to the screen (/display).

          SPLASH /nologo /lsm /r100 /c100 /display MYLOGO.BMP
