Welcome to Aporia!
Aporia is a powerful object oriented user interface for Windows 2.x and
3.0. It lets you organize your work simply and clearly by providing a
variety of advanced features that make its icon interface really work.
The heart of Aporia is the concept of tools. A tool is not just a
pretty picture, it also has enhanced abilities. It can be dropped onto
another to be run, or chained together to form a new tool. A tool can
store other tools letting you run multiple programs with one mouse
click. A tool can size and position the programs it runs. And, tools
are fully integrated into a powerful file management scheme.
Windows 3 is great and Aporia is a powerful enhancement to the Windows 3
environment.
