- This is a description of Hard Disk Controller + version 4.0
- written by Scott Neufeld
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- First, let me start by telling you that you should download
- file #11397, HDCONTROL+.SIT. It is the latest release of the
- Hard Disk Controller + (ver3.0). The layout of this finder-
- replacement is similar to that of Powerstation's, in that you
- can add buttons to pages that, when clicked, boot applications,
- documents, stacks, and desk accessories. However, this finder-
- replacement goes far beyond Powerstation and most other finder-
- replacement stacks.
- You have an unlimited number of pages with which you can place
- as many buttons as you wish. You create buttons with a simple
- pull-down menu command, and the actual icons of the applications,
- documents, and stacks are used. You can position and resize the
- buttons a9r:K@e{U0KV+z\F+6n,N6Y7 A =]IU1talog-Ad5R$outine lets you install an entire volume on as many pages as
- you wish (version 4.0 is the only version that has this feature,
- and you get it by sending in the $10 HonorWare fee). There are
- function buttons that let you delete, move, and resize buttons,
- as well as open applications, documents, or stacks that you have
- not installed. Also, in version 4.0, there is a handy Invisible
- Button creator that lets you use buttons invisibly. Why would you
- want to do this? Because, built into the stack, is a great search
- routine that lets you type in the name of the application/document/
- stack/DA that you want to boot, and it will find it and boot it.
- No more searching through folders or scanning through pages for the
- button that you want to click. Just push RETURN, and type either the
- whole name or the partial name into the dialog box, and the stack will
- automatically search and then boot the file that you want. This
- feature is available in version 3.0, which is online. Invisible files
- can be accessed only through this search routine, providing a degree
- of privacy.
- Also built in is a handy phone book. The stack self-installs itself
- if you wish. It will automatically boot up into the stack if you
- select "Install Script into Home Card". There are many keyboard
- shortcuts, too many to say here. Go download the stack, and if you
- like it, send in your $10 HonorWare fee.
- It's worth it!!!
