JumpStart Description _________________________________________________________________________ GETTING STARTED: As well as a Windows Help File, this program has a feature included which guides the new user through the initial steps. This is called "Beginner Help", and is to be found under the menu item titled "Xtras". When first run, the program should start up with "Beginner Help" active. The program may be started from within Windows, or from the DOS command line. Windows will be started by JumpStart, if not already running. The following are suitable command line (or batch file) statements: C:\JUMP\JMPSTART Using whatever drive and directory you have choosen. or WIN JMPSTART, OR JMPSTART From within the JumpStart directory, or anywhere, if you elect to include the the choosen directory to your PATH statement. (Autoexec.bat file). ___________________________________________________________________________ This program allows for the storing of 2000 program entries as text strings in a tabular format of 10 off two page configurations. Programs may be launched with a single mouse click. DESCRIPTION AND ORGANISATION: The intent of the program is to permit fast location and launching of Windows, and DOS under Windows programs. It avoids the sometimes frustrating search in and out of the program manager groups - (does it have an icon ??) - for that elusive program. Customisation features that allow tidy organisation of your programs are:- grouping by subject heading, colour coding of text and background colour, per entry or by group, and the possibility of repeating entries under different headings, to ensure you find it where you are looking for it. OTHER FEATURES: Many fast keys are programmed in to facilitate access. Appending of command line switches / parameters is also included, so that, for example, you may run up Notepad with a designated file to load, such as "autoexec.bat". Note that you can configure windows help files to run with a line such as.. "c:\windows\winhelp.exe c:\windows\soundrec.hlp" Startup programs may be set into each of the 10 configurations. This is similar to the Program Manager's Start Up group. A full windows help file, and a feature called "Beginner Help", are available to assist in getting started and operating the program. The program has been designed to make meagre use of your precious system resources. INSTALLATION (Auto or Manual): An "Install.txt" file describes a manual installation procedure, and lists and describes all files used. This assists with de-installation if required. An automated installation file "Setup.exe" is also included. Distribution Files: JS_USA95.ZIP USA (spellings) version, V 3.01-USA. JS_UK95.ZIP UK (spellings) version, V 3.01-UK.
