BASTA COMPUTING SOFTWARE PRODUCT INFORMATION TITLE Buzof v1.6 Copyright (C) 1996-2001 Basta Computing, Inc. All rights reserved. Shareware with a 30 day evaluation period. Limited distribution (see the license agreement for details). DESCRIPTION Annoyed by the repeated assaults of spurious messages and confirmation prompts on your desktop? Don't let these windows stress you, interfere with your productivity, or freeze your computer while you are away. Get rid of them with Buzof. Buzof enables you to automatically answer, close or minimize virtually any recurring window including messages, prompts, and dialog boxes. Just drag the "Add" crosshair icon from the Buzof window and drop it onto the button you would normally have to click to get rid of the annoying window. From this point on, Buzof will periodically scan the desktop and take care of the window whenever it shows up again. Buzof is designed to handle many different situations that would otherwise need to be addressed individually by specialized software. In fact, Buzof handles all kinds of messages and dialog boxes so well that many customers think that it was specifically designed for their specific needs. Since all of the information is stored in a small data file, it is easy to use one machine to define a configuration that will be propagated to other computers in a lab or data processing center. Corporate users can benefit significantly from this feature in situations where it's important to configure many workstations in a uniform way. IMPORTANT NOTE (for first time users) This application anchors its icon near the clock in the system tray which, by default, is located at the bottom right of your desktop. You may invoke the application menu by right-clicking on the icon.
