D'Button Version 1.2.f
What is DBTN.EXE?
DBTN.EXE (D'Button) is a small FREE(!) program that allows you to
configure two buttons to start programs of your choice. In addition,
you can supply data to the program you are starting.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Note !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DBTN.EXE can be freely distributed as long as there is no charge for it.
When distributed, the following UNMODIFIED FILES must be
included: DBTN.EXE, DBTN.WRI and DBTN.TXT.
It must also be noted, DBTN.EXE is provided "AS IS". That is, without
warranty of any kind, expressed or implied.
Whats New:
Version 1.0.f was the initial release of this program. You are
limited to two buttons in this version. Also, the program does not
verify the program name until the button is selected.
Version 1.1.f includes minor dialog box updates. That is, you can now
enter longer program names and data.
Version 1.2.f includes:
1) Expanded error messages when D'Button cannot start a program.
2) Fixes to help Windows find the program to run.
How to start:
You can start DBTN.EXE in the customary Windows methods. These include,
File Manager, adding the program to an existing group, etc.
What does it do after it has started?
DBTN.EXE will load and then appear as a small Window on your desktop ready
for use.
To configure D'Button:
1) Use the mouse pointer and click on the "D'Button"
button
2) Use the 'accelerator' keys to select the "D'Button"
button
3) Use the system menu to select the configure option
Then a dialog box will appear that allows you to
specify:
Name: The name that will appear in the button.
Program: The program name to start. Include any path
statement as/if required.
Data: Any additional data to supply to the program.
If you then select 'OK', the information will be written
to a file called DBTN.INI.
What's Next:
Lots More!
Enjoy!
