Start Once A Day
Version 2.3
by Kwan Leung
February 1995
1. INTRODUCTION
Startone (Start Once A Day) v.2.3 is designed to execute several tasks or
programs once only in Windows on a day. This program checks the programs you
specified every time you start Windows have ran before on that day. If they
have not ran before, then it starts them. On the other hand, it skips them.
The programs may be backup utilities, virus scanner or any other things.
StartOne v.2.3 contains the following files:
desc.sdi : program description for uploading to BBS.
file_id.txt : program description for uploading to BBS.
startone.exe: checks time & activates programs if they are the 1st time
to start Windows.
startcfg.exe: configure (add/delete) programs that you want to start
once a day (or configure programs for startone to run).
startone.txt: this text file for documentation.
NOTE: VBRUN200.DLL is required to run this program. For the reason of
shorter download time, I have not packed with this program.
2. INSTALLATION
a) Copy "startone.exe" and "startcfg.exe" into a directory.
b) Use the "File/New/Program Item" in the Program Manager to install two new
program items for "startone" and "startcfg".
c) Put the Startone icon (the Space Shuttle icon) into the Startup group
inside your Windows.
d) Run Startcfg (activate the Startone by mouse clicks) to select programs that
you want to start once a day.
