- Tablecloth™ 10 Minute Demonstration 25th July, 1989
-
- Tablecloth™ is a screen utility for clearing your screen of clutter
- when using multiple programs under Apple's MultiFinder.
- It is of particular use to those using large screen monitors,
- where the extra space provides more opportunity for visual chaos.
-
- when active, all windows of background applications are hidden,
- as are the the discs icons and the trash can on the desktop.
-
- Once installed, a triple-click on the desktop activates Tablecloth,
- and a triple-click on Tablecloth put it away again. No chance of
- confusion with other programs or inits, and no command keys.
-
- (This 10 minute Demo quits 10 minutes after launch -
- no data is lost and you keep working in whatever program you were
- using at the time, but you will have to re-launch Tablecloth if you
- want it back again).

-
- The Tablecloth™ program consists of two parts:
-
- • a normal Macintosh™ application program
- • a startup document called an 'INIT'.
-
- The init must be placed in your system folder and the Mac
- restarted before Tablecloth™ will work properly.
-
- After you have restarted, simply double-click as normal on
- the Tablecloth™ icon to launch. Now that Tablecloth™ is running
- it is available to cover all but your front-most application
- by triple-clicking on the desktop. Triple-click again on Tablecloth
- to put away. A screen saver arrangement is provided if you select
- Tablecloth™ from the Apple menu.
-
- COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER INITS - Tablecloth has been found
- to be compatible with a wide variety of inits. Many users are
- running with 20-30 of these handy utilities with no problems!
- Nevertheless, there is a possibility that you might have some
- trouble with older or public domain inits. If in doubt, place the
- suspect inits in a folder to prevent them being launched.
-
- The only identified problem has been the combination of
- Tablecloth with OnCue and PowerMenus. In this case the solution was
- to remove the non-printing character at the beginning of
- PowerMenu's name. This alters the order in which the inits are
- loaded at startup and cured the problem.
