This file contains changes to Launch that occured too late to appear
in the manual:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New features (appearing in v2.20, 24/9/94)
1) Usage tracking is now available, and is controlled by the new LAUNCH.INI
directive "LogFile". Omitting a LogFile entry in LAUNCH.INI (or leaving
it blank) disables usage tracking, otherwise the filename given is used
to track Launch events. If the filename given does not exist, it is
created, if it does exist, new events are added (appended) to the file.
eg
LogFile= ;disables usage tracking
;LogFile=track.txt ;also disables usage tracking
LogFile=\launch\usage.txt ;uses the file \launch\usage.txt to
record usage information
The events recorded are:
LOGGED IN User started Launch via log-in screen
LOGGED IN AUTOMATICALLY User started Launch, bypassing log-in screen
LOGGED OUT User left Launch
<Option name> User ran option <Option name>
RETURNED TO LAUNCH User returned to Launch after running an option
Information is reported in the following format:
User Name Time Date Event
---------- -------- ---------- -------------------------------------
1234567890 hh:mm:ss dd-mm-yyyy Event description (see above)
Sample usage file:

Note: Usage tracking was only added because other menu programs have it.
Its only use is on non-network systems (eg home PC's) where the actions
of other users needs to be monitored (eg children). Tracking facilities
normally offered by networks exceed the facilities provided here.
New features (appearing in v2.11)
1) AutoBuild may also be used with Links. This new feature allows you to
choose the drive, directory and structure to link in.
2) Multiple hot keys may now be defined. They are defined in exactly the
same way as previously ie prefixed by a carat "^".

Bug fixes
8/9/94 The supervisor can now, at their discretion, bypass entering an
option's password by pressing [F9]. This allows the supervisor
to delete items they have forgotten the password of. It also
allows them to delete items created with a password by other
users with editing privileges.
