GroupWorker Version 1.2 Multiple Program Launcher for Windows Copyright 1991 Miller Software All Rights Reserved --------------------------------------- The Initial Screen comes up with all of the Defined Groups showing in the box on the left. Clicking on a group reveals its group contents in the Contents window. Once selected, the group can be deleted by pushing the Delete Group button OR immediately be run by pushing the Run Group button OR be modified by pushing the Modify Group button. Both the Modify Group button and the Make a New Group button will take you to the Setup Screen where you can either modify or make groups. Groups are easily established and changed on the Setup Screen. Upon entering the Setup Screen, the Drive, Directory and Files present in the directory in which you placed GroupWorker are already showing. To add an application to a group, simply double click the program's name in the Programs-Click to Add box. The program name is then automatically (and alphabetically) loaded into the Programs Selected- Click to Delete Box. You can move around drives and directories using the Drive and Directory boxes, and change the kind of executable file you wish to add by pressing one of the four buttons (*.exe, *.com, *.bat, *.pif) under the Programs-Click to Add box.. (Please note that if you add a .pif file AND are operating in Windows Standard mode, your group execution will be halted until the non-Windows program is closed.) Programs, by default, are added to the Programs Selected box in capital letters, indicating that they will be started by GroupWorker in their normal Windows size. If you wish to have some programs started as minimized icons, just press the min button on top of the Programs-Click to Add box before selecting them. Filenames for these programs will be listed in small letters. Re-setting the default start-up window size is easily done by clicking the Norm button. If you make a mistake, or just change your mind about a file you've added or its starting size, you can easily delete it by double-clicking it's name in the Programs Selected- Click to Delete Box. Once you are happy with your new group, it is easily saved with the Save Group button, which will lead to your being asked for the name of your new group. Back in the Setup Screen,you may proceed to set up as many work groups as you like. When you have finished setting up your groups, simply press the Done button, and you will be returned to the Initial Screen, where all of your new groups are waiting for your use. If you ever have any questions about using GroupWorker, you can click the Help menu button, where these instructions will be displayed. (To close the Help window, just use the control box in the upper left hand corner.) When you are finally finished using GroupWorker for now, just click on the File menu item Exit. GroupWorker will then vanish until next called for use. --------------------------------------- GroupWorker is copyrighted by Miller Software, and distributed as shareware.
