What's new in StartUp

V2.06 (December 29, 1999)?

• Purple Software's PowerBase files are fully supported now. The bug which caused a 'not found' message in prior releases is fixed.

• When launching StartUp the first time from the Extras bar, StartUp tries to create a file named 'StartUp' in the default folder (usually C:\Documents). In case a file or folder named 'StartUp' already exists StartUp does not raises an error anymore. Instead a file named 'StartUp(01)' will be created.

• The default alias name for OPL OPO files does contain the program name now. Example: The default alias name for a file named MyProg.opo is 'OPL - MyProg.opo' instead of simply 'OPL'.

V2.05 (November 13, 1999)?

V2.00 (June 22, 1998)?

• Option 'Close other files...' added to the tools menu. This option closes all open programs and files which are not defined in the current StartUp file. This option is also used on opening of a StartUp file instead of the 'Close all open files' feature. This option may be used as a 'clean up' function and improves the performance when working with several StartUp files with one or more identical entries in each file (e.g. Macro5 or other useful programs and files you want to be open for quick access).
