Re: Program launcher

[Roy and/or Janet Miller <millers@inetnebr.com>]

Another nice launcher is the last Catalyst from Quark. It's a graphical
interface, so it looks a lot like the Mac/IIgs, and makes things like
searching sub directories really easy. The problem, of course, is where to
find a copy. I have one, does anyone know if Quark has released it yet? I
also have the older text based interface. One other nice thing about Catalyst
is it will install a copy protected program to your hard drive for you, and
you can boot from the hard drive.
