AppBar for Windows NT/95 ** BETA release ** This is a beta release. Do not run this program unless you can live with possible bugs. AppBar does not work in NT with the old interface right now (0.94). It does work with the Newshell installed. ------ Intro ------------------------------------ AppBar is a simple, fast and easy-to-use menuing system for Win32. Since this program is a full 32-bit program, it will not run in Windows 3.x. My idea behind AppBar was threefold: 1) I wanted a version of FileBar for OS/2 that ran under Win95 since I found that program incredibly useful; 2) I wanted to write a menu system for Win95 that was as small as possible to show that Win32 programs do not have to be 1 MB and have MAPI support to do something effectively; and 3) I wanted to learn C better. As it is, AppBar is a visual clone of FileBar (with a few exceptions). None of Eric's code was used in this program however. ------ Money ------------------------------------ AppBar is freeware with one exception. If you are using this on your private machine, you do not have to pay me anything to use it. There are no nags and no hidden "features." If you want to send me a few bucks, however, I won't complain and I will compile a special version with your name in the about box. HOWEVER, if this program is to be used in a commercial/business environment, you have 15 days to try AppBar. If you like it, I ask that you register it for $1 per workstation. Purchase of 100 licenses gets you the source code and the right to do anything you'd like with it as long as it is not publically released. ------ Thanks ---------------------------------- Official AppBar thanks goes to PeopleSoft Inc (http://www.peoplesoft.com), who hired me as an intern and which was where I worked while writing what has become AppBar. They have a free unlimited license if they want it. ------ Administrivia --------------------------- E-mail: mperham@cs.cornell.edu WWW: http://crux4.cit.cornell.edu/~mjp6/appbar.html AppBar is written in Visual C++ v4.0 in Windows 95.
