designed to provide a workaround for timing problems that may lead to a
WPS hang on startup on certain OS/2 versions and fixlevels.
- Features (Version 1.9.1):
- WarpIN installaton.
- The opening of Warpcenter can be done by RexxAutostart
after
the Workplace Shell has been populated.
- XCenter/eCenter is supported. The opening of
XCenter/eCenter
can be done by RexxAutostart after the Workplace Shell has
been populated.
- Objects in the startup folder will not be opened until
the
Workplace Shell has been populated.
- You can delay the opening of objects in the startup
folder
until:
- Warp Center has opened.
- Warp Toolbar (Launchpad) has opened.
- Stardock's Object Desktop Control Center and/or
Tab
Launchpad have opened.
- A specified delay has occurred.
- You can declare any folder as your startup folder.
- A LAN startup folder is provided to contain objects
that
should not be started until a LAN connection has been
established
