i++, WittyKeys and Backyard Bundle

==================================



I currently have three different applications that deal with lauching other

apps or performing special actions:



- i++

   i++ lets you customize the OS2.x i-menu. This is a natural extension to

the OS2.x user interfaces and allows you to have a special-purpose menu

accessible all the time that does not disturb you when you do not need it.



- WittyKeys

   Is a OS2.1-only tool to define your own keyboard shortcuts (i.e. switch

between open apps on a keystroke!)



- Backyard

   Is an application that is intended to be used as backdrop application

(but it doesn't has to, of course). Here you can define your own buttons to

access various functions at a single tap.



BTW: Since these three applications share basically the same set of

"special actions" I decided to isolate these actions and put them in a

separate package called "TL Lib". This code sharing saves you quite some

memory when using more than one of them. And as side effect I introduced a

plug-in architecture (called SPI) that allows third-party developers to

easily create additional special actions that will be available in all

three applications. Of course I will release additional "SPI compatible"

plug-ins, too.



I believe that these three applications represent three completely

different approaches to open applications or to perform other actions.

Depending on the situation each of them can be the best choice. 



At the beginning of a session Backyard gives you the fastest access and the

best overview about the current settings. But when an application is

already open i++ is supperior (especially the task button on a MP2x00

speeds up working with multiple apps). On the other hand, when a keyboard

is connected (or when using an eMate) nothing is faster than a keyboard

shortcut so this is the right time for WittyKeys.



Since there will certainly be users who only need one of these tools they

are available separately at US$15 each. But if you like to use two or all

of them I can offer you the two following bundles:



 - For US$25 you can register i++, WittyKeys and Backyard  (saving US$20 -

CompuServe SWREG please use ID 16321).



 - If you already registered one of these packages and register another one

later you will receive the third code for free (saving US$15)

automatically.



You will find more informations about registration in the ReadMe and on my

homepage http://www.antopia.com/thorsten.



Thanks for your interest in i++, WittyKeys and Backyard! I Hope you'll

enjoy these tools.
