I called the fine people at CE Software, makers of Disktop, to find when the sys 7 compatible version of DT Launch would be available, and they said that version 1.6 had already been posted on CompuSpend and other fee-charging services :-( or I could purchase the $15 upgrade to Disktop from them thereby getting the new CE Toolbox, also :-( Has anyone already downloaded this, and then posted it somewhere for ftp access ( please oh please oh please :-) Just wonderin... t-bone -- Todd Grinnell | Odesta Corporation "Less talk -- More synthohol"| 4084 Commercial Ave. Lt.

I've put the new version of CE Toolbox into the Disktop Updater package... in order to get it, just download the whole thing from /utilities/updates/disktopupdater4.01.cpt.hqx (or something pretty close to that). The current Toolbox version is 1.6. Oh, btw, that's on mac.archives.umich.edu... nooooowhere else (what a great ad jingle) -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Mike @ ccs.itd.umich.edu ( ( ( ( (( in stereo )) ) ) ) ) Mike Dautermann - U-M Ann Arbor, Dearborn and the WORLD!!

I thought System 7 just about did away with the need for DT launch or am missing something. Cann't you just about move anything easily to the Apple menu under System 7?

I kind of like the way DT Launch organizes documents under the proper application, and with the way it puts launchables out on a hier-menu makes the Apple menu less ungainly- scrolling through thirty apps, DAs, and documents gets old, fast. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cann't you just about move anything easily to the Apple >menu under System 7? In one sense system 7 does do away with the need for DT Launch. However in my case putting everything under the apple menu the system 7 way would make the menu too long for my liking. Also DT Launch allows for documents to be kept with the applications, which I would have to work at the system 7 way.

You'll find yourself with a 6 mile long apple menu. The thing that will help all this is when HAM comes out.

You'll find yourself with a 6 mile long apple menu. The thing > that will help all this is when HAM comes out. I can't wait. As a variation on this theme see article 12791 in this group. I don't have System 7 to try. He puts alias's of groups of da and applications in a folder and puts that folder into the apple menu folder. Does this "unclutter" the apple menu? Hillman
