     I've used the original WBStartup+ written by John Hughes for a long
     time  but since the introduction of the new icon format with OS 3.5
     the little startup window of WBStartup+ looked very ugly.

     So  I've  decided  to write my own and add some nice features.  You
     can  still  use  the  old preferences program but I plan to write a
     different one.
     
     Requirements: 

       Computer : An Amiga, what else :)
       OS       : 3.5 +
       Library  : wbstart.library version 2.2 (no higher version)

     The  installation  is  very simple.  I think, that I don't need the
     Installer for this files.  The WBStartup++ program should be copied
     to  the  WBStartup  directory  where  it should be the only program
     beside the "enabled" and "disabled" drawer.
     
     To  change the look of WBStartup++ you can set different tooltypes.
     Only a few of them are fully compatible to the old version.

     @{b}Tooltypes@{ub} -------------------------------------------------------

     ENABLEDPATH   = path       Directory for all the programs wich
                                should be started

     DISABLEDPATH  = path       Directory for all disabled programs

     PREFSPATH     = path       Path to the preferences program

     BACKGROUND    = path       Path to the background picture

     TRANSPARENT                Uses the wb background as window pattern

     BORDERLESS                 Draws the window without a border

     POSITION      = x,y        Window position
              or
     POSITION      = CENTER     Window will be centered on the screen

     MACSTYLE      = width      Mac style startup display

     Nothing  much  to say here.  Just watch how he programs start :) If
     the  program  window opens you can press the "D" key to disable all
     programs or you can use "I" to switch to the interactive mode where
     you must confirm every program start.

     Keys: I - Interactive Mode
           D - Disable all

     This little program is giftware.  If you like it, surprise me.  I
     like good SF books and techno music :) People with low budget can
     send me a picture postcard.
   
     You are allowed to copy WBStartup++ as long as you do not charge
     more  than  the  price  for the medium (and maybe a small copying
     fee).

     You  are  allowed  to  put  it  on a collection of Public Domain/
     Freeware/  Shareware  programs, if you send me a free copy of it.
     (If  you  put  it on a cover disk of a disk magazine, then please
     send me the corresponding issue of this magazine, too.)

     Use  it  at your own risk !  I can give you no warranty.  I am no
     responsible  for  anything  that  happens,  especially  if  it is
     something bad.  :-)

     If   you   found  any  bugs  or  have  important  suggestions  or
     improvements, send all to:
