Description:
!DeskStart performs a similar function to *DeskTop -file. The main difference
is that each task is allowed to start-up fully before the next is started,
and a limited degree of multi-tasking is available. The original reason for
this program was to enable something more interesting than a blank grey
screen to be shown while a lengthy start-up sequence is performed. Since then
many other facilities have been added, including a status window and a
percentage completed display.
