DESCRIPTION
Splash renders splash screens for installers and other non GUI aware

silent but runs the client code. It displays the selected xpm images
centered on the display and shaped according to the mask of the xpm.
(If you want to no shape use no mask.)
splash opens a window to display the image gives as the first argument.
This must be a .xpm file. Then it starts the script given as the sec‐
ond argument.
splac should only be called from within this script. It accepts the
following arguments:

title string Sets the window title to string. The new image need not
be the same size.
