**************************************** * QuiClick V3.0 README.TXT Contents * **************************************** > New Features > System Requirements > General Description > QuiClick Group Manager > List of Features > What is Shareware > What to do if you have problems Thank you for trying version 3.0 of QuiClick. One of the top buttonbar launching programs for Windows 3.1. We have decided to reduce the price of this version of QuiClick from the original $24.95 to $12.00! No, we did not remove any features. In fact, many were added. We just want QuiClick 3.0 to be the most used buttonbar in the industry. **************************************** * New Features * **************************************** You can define a button to be a resource guage or a memory guage by choosing special functions. The special function list box has been split into two list boxes. One for Windows applications and one for truly special functions. QuiClick Group Manager is bundled with QuiClick. This is a separate menu window that contains all of the groups and items in Program Manager. You can control it from QuiClick or even run it separately. There is a new QuiClick Information Center. A .WAV file can be assigned to every button. This sound will be played whenever the button is used. You need a sound card for best effect, but you can use the Microsoft PC speaker driver too. Several Advanced Options have been added. Most of these allow you to assign .WAV file sounds to various events. But you can also change the text on the "Quit" and "Setup" buttons, and you can turn off the splash window that is displayed when QuiClick first starts. Changing the font of a button is now very much faster. Especially for those who have many fonts installed. There is a more refined and consistent 3d look to the setup windows. Various minor bugs have been fixed including a problem with QuiClick not remembering that it is a vertical bar. You can tell QuiClick to use the Windows WRITE word processor instead of Notepad when you are using the notepad drop. This is usefull when dropping files that are too large for NOTEPAD. **************************************** * System Requirements * **************************************** Microsoft Windows 3.1 VBRUN200.DLL file in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory 80286 or higher microprocessor EGA monitor VGA highly recommended mouse highly recommended **************************************** * General Description * **************************************** QuiClick is a floating buttonbar that allows you to launch your most used applications quickly even if other windows are scattered all over your screen. QuiClick's claim to fame is the fact that it can be VERY small and unobtrusive. The problem with similar programs is that they almost invariably display full- sized icons on a menu or buttonbar. We think this is not very different from what you get with Program Manager! With QuiClick you can define a very small button to do the same thing. We did not intend for you to replace Program Manager with QuiClick. Instead, we wanted to keep only those most frequently used programs always quickly available. In other words, don't try to put everything you have on the QuiClick bar. This would make the bar too big, and it would just get in the way. If you don't have the program that you want defined in QuiClick, then jump over to QuiClick Group Manager, or even to Program Manager itself. **************************************** * QuiClick Group Manager * **************************************** But for those who don't necessarily agree, we have bundled a copy of QuiClick Group Manager with this version of QuiClick. Group Manager will build a quick access menu that contains all of the groups and items that you have defined in Program Manager. This way you can get to those items that you don't use often enough to define as a QuiClick Toolbar button. If you would really rather look at icons though, you can configure Group Manager to build a window that contains all of you Program Manager Icons. This window presents the icons in a highly condensed manner. **************************************** * List of Features * **************************************** + Up to 25 buttons to launch any application + Display configurable date and/or time + Display a button with a graphical resource or memory guage + Horizontal or vertical and located anywhere on the screen + Change shape of buttonbar + The font used to label the buttons can be changed + The size of the buttons can be adjusted + Can display a separate system information window - continuously updated + Quick "Windows Exit" + Browse for programs to launch + Quick "System Reboot" + Quick "Windows Restart" + Always On Top + Save and Restore button definition files (Multi-Configurations) + Reorder the button definitions with drag and drop + Drag and Drop to printer or Notepad or Write + Choose what to do with previous instances of an application + Set wave files to be played at various QuiClick Events including hourly chimes and low resource warnings. + QuiClick Information Center - an attractive way to access help and registration information + Configure and launch QuiClick Group Manager + Automatic Installation Program **************************************** * What to do if you have problems * **************************************** You can contact us in the following ways.

It is a software marketing method. It is designed to be a win-win situation for both us and you. We have far fewer expenses and hassles when it comes to distribution and duplication. You get excellent software for a far lower price. And the great thing is that you get to be the judge of what is excellent software. You get to try it before you buy it. If you don't like it, pass it on to a friend or just delete it from your hard drive. But if you do use the software, you are obligated to pay for it. After all, we put over a year of our time into creating all three versions of QuiClick and QuiClick Group Manager. If those who use shareware don't compensate us, we won't be able to sell great software cheaply anymore! And neither will anyone else. Please Support Shareware. So go ahead, try QuiClick. I know you'll like it. And then send us your registration. But most of all, enjoy QuiClick! -Kempton Software
