>>The only way I can imagine to improve AutoStart would be to make it able to manage startup-sequence and user-startup files. But I think that's out of the scope of AutoStart. Actually I originally planned on doing that, but it seems a little difficult to deal with the differing startups from 2.0 to 3.1. Of course most of my programs seem not to work under 2.04 anyway… As for BGUI, its better because its way smaller, and seems more reliable. The new MUI 3.0 may fix this, but I prefer the thought of including the 100K BGUI library w/AutoStart, rather than the user needing MUI on their system (or including it forbid that!). I also like the fact that the USER doesn't need to register it, for its full functionality. But I do, before I include it with any shareware program, and I still haven't. Will soon though. On another tack, the Obvious addition to it will be localization… But not being quadrilingual or whatever my ability to supply catalogs is limited… I could make up a cheezy spanish catalog but what I REALLY need is a German catalog. Hmm… you seem to be living in Berlin… (hint hint how'd you like free beta versions for the rest of your life hint hint)
