                             UtilityLaunch


         UtilityLaunch is a powerful Apple IIGS Program Selector/Launcher which gives the user the capability of launching any program from either a standard file selection dialog box or from an easily configured menu presented in a window on the Desktop. Up to 50 launch selection menus, each containing up to 40 simple button entries or 16 icon button entries, can be quickly configured using a standard file selection dialog box (just point and click the mouse on the programs to be configured). UtilityLaunch permits very rapid launching of all programs under GS/OS (much faster than with the Finder).

UtilityLaunch includes the following capabilities:

         o        Ability to launch any S16, SYS, EXE, BAS, BIN, or 
              TXT (EXEC) file.
              (The latter three types must be capable of being   
              run from BASIC. Only some EXE files can be     
              properly executed).

         o        Ability to switch slots (GS internal slots or 
              slot cards), speed, and colors, as well as     
              certain modem and printer parameters,             
              monochrome/color display settings, and startup 
              slot upon launching of any program and return to   
              default settings at completion of that program.

         o        Ability to set default slot configurations,    
              speed, colors, monochrome/color display, and 
              certain modem and printer parameters for every 
              menu screen, independent of the control panel, 
              and return to a predefined set of these      
              parameters upon exiting from UtilityLaunch.

         o        Ability to boot any bootable drive or scan any 
              bootable drive.

         o        Ability to autostart any of several programs 
              whenever the disk is booted, and return to     
              UtilityLaunch upon program completion.

         o        Ability to easily configure any UtilityLaunch 
              Menu Screen, including the ability to easily 
              import any icons and the ability to choose any 
              desired colors for the menu buttons.

         o        Ability to set a screen blackout timer to        
              blackout the monitor's screen after a period of 
              nonuse, to avoid permanently damaging the screen   
              when non-changing bright images are displayed for 
              prolonged periods of time.

         o        Ability to limit general access to only selected    
              menus and program features. This will prevent 
              inexperienced users such as children or students   
              from accessing programs that could potentially 
              destroy a hard disk.

         o        Ability to easily insert, edit, delete, and    
              rearrange menu entries. Ability to create Boot 
              Buttons to boot any desired slot, Scan Buttons to 
              scan any desired slot, Menu Buttons to select any 
              desired menu, Purge Buttons to purge memory, and   
              Shutdown Buttons to shutdown the computer.     
              Ability to view the current settings of any menu   
              entry, or printout the entire menu settings or 
              menu screen. Ability to delete or copy entire 
              menu screens.

         o        Ability to purge all purgeable Apple IIGS memory, 
              including ability to purge memory immediately 
              prior to launch of an applications program.

         o        Ability to pass startup paths to programs being 
              launched. This provides a capability for now 
              having separate UtilityLaunch menu buttons to 
              directly launch different IBM  programs with the   
              PC Transporter.

         o        Ability to control the TransWarp GS card's speed    
              and IRQ settings or the ZIP GS card's speed and 
              delay settings with any menu entry.

         o        Ability to import all previously constructed 
              menus generated with earlier versions of         
              UtilityLaunch.
