Launch is a handy utility for Windows which lets you start programs directly
from the Windows desktop without having to go through the program manager or
file manager.  Your favorite programs are only one mouse click away!

Installation is a snap- just copy Launch to your hard disk.  Launch will
create a default menu the first time it runs (or anytime it cannot find
LAUNCH.INI).  You can install Launch in your WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI so it will
load automatically.  The online help contains more detailed instructions.

Once Launch is installed just click over the empty desktop.  Your Launch menu
will pop up automatically.

Launch follows the small-is-beautiful principle.  It does just one thing and
it does it reasonably well.  Launch stays out of your way when you are not
using it and requires less than 14k when running.

Please feel free to distribute this program to others.  All I ask is that you
be careful and remember to include both files (LAUNCH.EXE and LAUNCH.TXT)
together in the archive.

I have put a lot of time into Launch and have chosen to make it available to
you as shareware.  If you use Launch please take the time to send in your
registration.  The cost is only $25 (3,000 yen in Japan).  Don't forget to
include your name, address, product version number and any comments.  Site
licenses are also available.

Revision history:

10/25/90  1.0  Initial release.

12/03/90  1.1  Some people reported a compatibility problem when running
               Windows Recorder with Launch.  Investigation revealed that
               Recorder was engaging in the bizarre act of sending a
               left-mouse-button-press message through the Windows desktop
               whenever a macro was executed (which naturally caused Launch
               to pop up).  I added a check to determine if the mouse button
               press was genuine.

2/15/90   1.2  First shareware release.  Improved "unload/reload" capability.
               Added online help system and improved documentation.  Added
               (Separator) and (Exit) features to the menu.  Improved
               installation (automatically builds LAUNCH.INI).
