Whats new! and coming soon!
                        ---------------------------
                              Launch Pad v3.3
 Updated for DOS 5.0             
 
                              
 NEW for 3.3 (this version)

-Now DOS 5.0 aware

 Version 3.2b didn't return the correct PATH statement
 with DOS 5.0. in the Satellite.
 This has been corrected with this version 3.3.


1 More password protection; 
  Now password protection for, EXIT, Drop to DOS, Satellite (manager) entry,
  Timed programs, and ALL pages above page 1.
  Let other users launch programs from page 1 ONLY!
  Page 2-10 are protected by the password.

  If you don't have enough programs to place your private programs
  on page 2, just enter the empty numbers with blanks until you are
  at the second page (programs # 23 and up).


2 More Formats Added; Now includes 720k and 1.4k disks.


3 For DOS 5.0 Users; Instant access to your editor.
 
  Hilite a file and you have instant access to the built-in 
  editor. You must have EDIT.COM in the DOS directory or in 
  your PATH statement.

  You can rename any editor you like to EDIT.COM or EDIT.EXE
  and place that file in your PATH, or just a text viewer.
  The Launch Pad will pass the files name to any program 
  called "EDIT" in your PATH, or ROOT directory.


4 Archive Viewer; View Archived files.
 
  Hilite the archived file and press Alt-V
  Then select the correct viewer i.e.; LZH, ARJ, ZIP
  These are the most common archive compressors.    
 
  ZIP is the king of the Bulletin Board Systems (BBS), and is
  --- available in Shareware and Commercial versions.
Most power

  ARJ Most of the time this one creates even smaller
  --- files then ZIP. 
      This one is free to any single user (Not for companies or
      commercial purpose). Available as Shareware & Freeware.
Power and small files

  LZH This one also creates smaller files then ZIP, and
  --- sometimes even smaller then ARJ.
      This one is free to any single user (Not for companies or
      commercial purpose). Available as Shareware & Freeware.
Small files, creates self-extracting compressed files

  All you have to do to view a compressed file, is place the above
  mentioned compressors in your PATH, or ROOT directory.
