MERCMAX - WINDOW SIZE DAEMON FOR MERCURY/32
 Serieguide 2004, 2010, 2014

This Daemon (plugin) to Mercury/32 forces the program to open in a a certain window state (maximized, minimized, normal), even if started via loader.exe or as a service.

The first version of the Deamon (October 2004) would always start Mercury maximized. In this version the state can be set using a parameter in DAEMON.INI. Any Windows ShowWindow (SW_) constant can be used. The ones that seem useful are:
  normal window = 1;
  maximized window = 3;
  minimized window = 6;
Without parameter window state will be set to maximized.

To install copy mercmax.dll and DAEMON.INI to the same directory as MERCURY.EXE and restart Mercury. If you already have some other Daemon installed you will need to merge the contents of your present DAEMON.INI file with this one.
