This is the README for Launch.1.3.s.tar.gz [Download] [Browse] [Up]

Launch version 1.3
Launch1.3 adds a logout hook; previous versions of Launch (if you have any) can be deleted.
Launch1.3.tar.gz is a gnu-zipped tar file containing a binary and source. The binary executes on Motorola hardware under NS2.1 and above. The source compiles under 3.0 with just header compatability warnings, so if someone feels like compiling an Intel binary and submitting it to the archives, feel free.

Launch is an application that allows you to initialize and clean up your workspace when you log in/out: when Launch is auto-launched, it executes the script ~/.Launch; when you logout, Launch executes the script ~/.Logout. 

Launch can be used to, for example:
·	launch applications that you would usually startup when you log in (but that you don't need to have in the dock);
·	place an image in the background when you log in;
·	play a login/logout sound.

Launch1.3 is free and freely distributable on a non-profit basis.
