- Get-Set(c)
-
- If you are like me, you probably have a standard set of programs you start
- (in the 3.1 Startup Group or in Win.Ini on the load= or run= lines) each
- time you boot Windows. Sometimes, such as when you install new software,
- you need to have nothing running, so you must close all those open
- applications. Or perhaps, different times you boot your computer, you need
- to work on totally different projects, say software development, or data
- analysis. Wouldn't it be nice when you start windows to be able to select
- different configurations of apps that are to be run (or loaded)?
-
- Introducing Get-Set, a simple utility program that allows you to select one
- of several configurations to be executed at the start of Windows. Get-Set
- supports multiple, user configurable, configurations. It has an automatic
- startup feature that will automatically boot a selected default configuration
- after a time limit has elapsed. You can create many different configurations.
- Each one contains a list of programs to be run or loaded.
-
- Refer to GETSET.WRI for installation and usage instructions.
-
- There are several minor changes to this release:
-
- 1. You can have up to 10 setups, each with 20 programs.
- 2. After each program is Spawned, there is a 1.5 second delay so that
- everything doesn't start at once.
- 3. The configuration screen will now search your path for an EXE if you
- do not supply the directory.
-
- There is no charge for this initial release, but ownership and copyright
- remain with SET Inc.
-
- I would also appreciate your help in finding and killing the bugs that may be
- lurking in Get-Set. If you have questions, comments, bug reports, praise,
- criticisms and suggestions or anything else on your mind, you can reach me at
- the following locations.
