RE: New (Delphi) xlauncher

["Dennis Foreman" <dforeman at stny dot rr dot com>]

At one point in history, (before WW II) the head of the US Patent Office
said he wanted to close the office because everything that needed to be
invented had already been invented and there was nothing left the world
needed. He had obviously not yet heard about the need for penicillin or
cardiac by-passes.

Harold:
What about platforms YOU never heard of or don't use????? (I have one. And I
may very well be interested in the Xlauncher for it.)

Franz,

I think there is a similar demand for a cross platform X launcher as
there is for a cross platform Windows registry editor.

My point is that no other platform needs such a beast.
