NEW RELEASE Nov 27, 1996 X-IT Version 2.3
The One Button Zapper
X-it gives you a single click to many common actions that normally take a
large number of mouse movements and clicking. This product is now updated
for full Warp 4 support, including these new features:
NEW FEATURES:
Warp 4 support, including redesigned buttons and titlebar clock.
Added "Auto drop down combo box on mouse click" - a handy windows-like feature.
where you don't have to click on the tiny down arrow to open a drop down list.
Added X-windows focus - window under mouse pointer is automatically activated.
Added key accelerators to the X-it task list popup menu.
Added buttons, clock, mouse and keyboard exception options to exception dialog.
Added Desktop clock, in addition to the titlebar clock.
Full DBCS support (for double byte systems in China and Japan).
Added full Dutch, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Danish, Finnish and Norwegian
versions. Hungarian version is in the works.
Compuserve SWREG 11263 added (GO OS2BVEN, OS/2 Shareware library)
Full WPS reboot support. X-it no longer hangs when PMSHELL is killed/restarted.
Numerous other bug fixes - see the HISTORY.DOC file for the full list.
AND THE STANDARD FEATURES:
Multiple user defined titlebar buttons - assign a predefined action to
them or launch any PM, Dos or Windows program. Place them on the left
or the right side of the titlebar.
Over 30 useful predefined actions.
Window actions include close, rollup, next, previous, move, size, task list.
Edit actions include cut, copy, copy all, paste and clear. These actions
are available in any PM window or any command line window. Copy all
will copy the entire text in a PM multi-line entry field with a single click
- no need to mark it first! Copy from static text or the titlebar!
Folder actions include open parent, open parent and close, sort,
arrange and refresh.
User defined middle and right mouse buttons - assign them with the
same actions available for the titlebar buttons. Plus, you can assign the
right or left mouse button double click action to a single mouse button
or a key - never have to double click again!
Keyboard keys can also be assigned any predefined action.
User defined popup menus for edit and folder actions. Copy and paste
or sort a folder with almost no mouse movements.
Full OS/2 and Dos command window support, including font size and
full screen actions. Bypass that pesky "are you sure" dialog when closing a
command line window or doing a system shutdown.
Other available actions that can be assigned are X-it task list (single
click to another program), OS/2 task list, LaunchPad, and Help.
Titlebar clock, with date and/or time in your country format.
Language support for German, French, Danish, Japanese and English.
No charge when updating from a previous 2.x version, and all your current
settings are preserved.
"I always feature the latest and greatest shareware in my demos and a LOT of people ask me where to get X-IT. I have grown
to REQUIRE it (and can't stand working on a system that doesn't have it)."
- David Barnes, IBM Senior Product Manager for PSP, on X-it 1.0
"A VERY cool WPS enhancement!"
- David Barnes, IBM Senior Product Manager for PSP, on X-it 2.0
"There is a certain little desktop enhancement that is long overdue for a Rave ... X-it v2.2.... everyone should know how incredible it really is. X-it is super useful, super small, and super slick. This software is extremely configurable, allowing users to place a zillion buttons on either the left or right of any window's title bar to do about a zillion things. ... I've never once had to look at a readme or manual to figure out what a feature does. ... X-it is solid and beautifully discree
t."
- Trevor Smith, editor, OS/2 e-Zine!, June, 1996
"After using it for the past two weeks or so I have found this to be one of my
most treasured add-ons."
- Collin Summers, OS/2 Warp Newsletter Feb. 1996
"This new version is *CO-OOL*!!!! A definite "must-have"."
- Rose Gerlach, IBM UK, rose_gerlach@uk.ibm.com
"This is a *very* useful gadget that deserves a spot on *everyone's* desktop."
- Chris Wenham, OS/2 e-Zine! March 1996
