- EXECUTOR for Windows
-
- by Chris Nystrom, and J.R. McConnell
-
-
- This program is a Microsoft Windows 3.0 application that quickly
- starts other programs.
-
- There are three ways to start an application with the default
- Windows setup. They each have drawbacks.
- You can make an Icon for it, and then starting the program from the
- icon. However you may not want to clutter up your desktop with icons for
- applications you rarely use. Also you may be trying out an application for
- the first time, and want to see how good it is before you add it to your
- desktop.
- You can use the RUN command from the FILE menu of the Program
- Manager, but you need to know the exact path, and filename.
- If you don't know the exact path, and file name, then you can start
- up the File Manager. However this is a slow process, as the File Manager
- takes time to read the file directories of your entire hard drive. Then you
- have to select the drive, and subdirectory where the file is found, and then
- you can start your application.
-
- Executor is simply a Dialog Box that lets you browse through your
- drives and directories to select the file that you want to run.
-
- Executor also has Radio Buttons to filter out certain files based
- on the file name extension. The default setting when the program starts is to
- only show files with the .EXE extension. All windows programs have this
- extension. However Executor will also start standard DOS applications with
- .COM extensions, as well as DOS batch files with .BAT extensions. If you do
- not know the file name extension for the file you want to start, then select
- the ALL Radio Button and all the files in the directory will be displayed.
- However, only files with the extensions .EXE, .COM, or .BAT can be started.
-
- Executor is Shareware. If you can send a $5 donation we would
- appreciate it. However our greatest desire is that you use the program, and
- that it increases your joy of computing. So, if you can't afford the $5,
- please continue to use the program. Please send in the registration form in
- either case, as we would like to get a feel for how many people use the
- program. If you do register, and there are updates, we will send you a copy
- of the latest version. We will also send you information on other programs we
- develop.
-
- Please distribute this program as widely as possible. However, this
- program is to only be distributed WITH source code. By providing the source
- code we hope to make this program as useful as possible.
-
- Feel free to modify and improve this code. Please document your
- changes, and provide copies of the source code to us at the address, or the
- BBS listed below. We will act as a central point of contact for all
- improvements.
