- TaskView README file
- Version 2.0
- **************************************************************
-
- Version 2.0 New Features and Enhancements:
-
- * Auto Minimize/Restore - TaskView can automatically
- minimize when not in use and will automatically
- restore when touched with the cursor. This will help
- increase desktop space.
-
- * Horizontal/Vertical Positions - TaskView can be
- displayed horizontally or vertically on the desktop.
-
- * Preloaded Applications - Applications can be added to
- the taskbar and be launched then switched to. Taskview
- is able to display only the preloaded apps and can be
- used just as a launch bar.
-
- * 3D Appearance - The taskbar has been visually redesigned
- to give a 3D look.
-
- * Caption Strip - Taskview changes into a small strip that
- neatly fits into the caption bar of a maximized app (like the
- one used in MS Office).
-
- * ToolTips - TaskView will display the name of the
- task when the cursor is over the appropriate button,
- similar to Microsoft Office applications.
-
- * Currently Running Lights - TaskView can display a
- light on each button that will tell if a Preloaded
- App is running.
-
- * Context Sensitive Menus - When the middle mouse button
- is clicked over a button on the taskbar a menu will
- appear with selections giving you control of that task.
-
- * AutoShape - Taskview will automatically adjust its
- shape and size to make sure all tasks fit within
- the desktop space.
-
- * File Utilities - Taskview has a File Finder, a
- Run/Browse utility and a Task Operations utility.
- The File Finder lets you find files and
- delete/copy/move them. The Task Operations utility
- lets you control the desktop and its current windows.
-
- * Redesigned Options dialog - A tabbed dialog box allows
- fast and easy access to TaskViews options.
-

- BUTTON AND SIT BACK.
-
- 1. Press the Continue button to close this readme file.
- 2. At this point the installation process will begin.
- 3. Press the Cancel button to stop it and go to DOS
- (or use the File Manager to perform the equivalent steps
- described below).
- 4. Make a TaskView directory (call it what you want).
- 5. Copy TASKVIEW.EXE and TASKVIEW.HLP to the above
- directory.
- 6. Copy the Library Files (*.DLL) to \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
