What Is Square One?
Square One is a utility that puts all your programs and files in a single, handy icon palette. You can bring your palette to the front by dragging your mouse to the lower right corner. You can open anything in your palette by double-clicking on it. With Square One, you can:
Ñ Launch programs and open documents.
Ñ Keep your desktop clean.
Ñ Open a group of programs and documents all at once.
Ñ Find and open a particular file on your disk-drive.
Ñ Switch between running programs.
Ñ Quit any running program with a click.
Ñ Hide programs when they're in the background.
What Is the Digital Version?
The digital version of Square One is the complete Square One software and documentation in digital format. There is no disk or manual; it╒s all electronic.
The digital version contains the same Square One software as the physical version. Because there is no cost of goods, we pass the savings on to you.
What Is the Demo Version of Square One?
Until you register, you will only be able to use the demo version of Square One.
The demo version is the same as the fully enabled version, except:
Ñ Palettes expire after about two weeks of use. You then have to create a new palette to keep using the Square One Demo.
Ñ The demo version is not accelerated for the PowerMacintosh. The fully enabled version is.
