- Mike and I hope you really like and use The RIGHT Button. I've been a user
- ever since Mike first began writing it and did much of the early beta work.
- I wouldn't run Windows without it.

- RButton ver 1.3
-
- Enhancements to ver 1.1
- ------------------------
- Shell support
- RButton can now be used as the system shell without Program Manager
- (Progman) running. First, run RButton normally from Progman. Then,
- select Configure. Progman groups and applications can still be accessed
- although Progman isn't running by selecting Update Progman Groups.
- The information from Progman will then be saved in the RBUTTON.INI
- file. Select Use As A Shell, and RButton will (optionally) update your
- SYSTEM.INI file and restart Windows.
-
- When using RButton as the shell, closing RButton will attempt to close
- all applications. Unsaved information will be lost or you will have the
- option to update or cancel the close - basically, it works the same as
- when using Progman.
-
- *** Please note that RButton uses the file VBRUN300.DLL. Other applications
- which you may want to install may try to overwrite this file - which it
- will be unable to do while RButton is active. I've provided a special
- switch to Progman to accomplish this.
- *** Press Alt-F3 rather than Alt-F4 to close RButton. This will run Progman
- and close RButton without shutting down Windows. Windows will then exit
- normally to DOS when all applications have been closed.
-
- Update Progman Groups
- RButton previously queried Progman to create the Groups and Applications
- list boxes each time you clicked the Program Manager button. A new option
- under Configure allows you to only link to Progman once to get the groups
- and applications. This allows for somewhat faster access. It necessary
- if you still want to access the groups and applications when using RButton
- as the system shell. The data will be saved in the RBUTTON.INI file.
-
- Free Resource Information - REGISTERED VERSION ONLY
- A new program is included with the registered version - Free Resources - in
- the file FREERESO.EXE. This small (about 9K) file will be installed in
- your Windows directory along with RButton, but will not be active. Rather
- than add free resource processing to RButton itself, I decided to create a
- small program that you can add as an icon. It will save some information
- in your RBUTTON.INI file. FreeReso will show the mode Windows is running in,
- either Standard or Enhanced, the free GDI resources (graphical objects),
- free USER resources (windows, dialog boxes, buttons, etc...), free
- SYSTEM resources (basically everything else), and free global memory, which
- may include virtual memory. Any of the resource numbers can be displayed
- while FreeReso is running as an icon, with a user definable update
- interval.
-
-
- Enhancements to ver 1.2
- -----------------------
- Startup Group
- Added option to run all Program Manager startup group programs when RButton
- is used as a shell.
