Archive-name: auto/comp.os.ms-windows.announce/AppBar-version-3-30

I have released version 3.30 of AppBar to

CICA (ftp.cica.indiana.edu),
ph.tn.tudelft.nl,
and garbo.uwasa.fi.


AppBar is an icon-based program launcher.

In AppBar 3.30 the following things are new,
- ParamsXX= specify a optional parameter (DataFiles or StartUpParameters) 
  given to a launched program. 
- SoundDirectory= specifies the default directory for the sound file browser.
- AppBar supports multiple file Drag&Drop from the FileManager now. (It will 
  launch a new instance of the buttonprogram for each file from the 
  dropped filelist)
- added QuickLoad button to quickly setup AppBar with drag&drop and to copy 
  buttonsettings to other buttons. 
- added Run button, to launch program from a commandline.
- added Maximum Size option (ShowModeXX = 3), to start program as large as 
  possible, with leaving AppBar visible.
- added dialogbox asking to save current position after moving AppBar.
- improved close function, closing program can ask for saving data first 
  before terminating. (Thanks to Erkki Riekkola for providing crucial source).
- added new AppBar utility AppMore, which can launch different programs in 
  different instances.
- added Tip for AppBar, a trashcan utility, written by Bernt Ribbum.
- increased maximum of buttons to 48.
- made AppBar restartable when it is Shell.
- AppBar will execute options given to win.com when it is Shell.
- Added minimize button. When AppBar is minimized just doubleclick on icon 
  to restore AppBar.
- abandoned difficult Buttons/Columns settings. Now blank buttons are added 
  to get enough buttons for the specified number of Columns.

Ware?
This Software is UserWare, no registration, no nothing, just a program to 
increase the joy of using Windows.
