Introducing TB Start

TB Start is primarily designed to give "autorun" capabilities to ToolBook applications which are deployed via CD-ROM but require an installation routine (typically to copy the ToolBook runtime to a hard disk). It can also be used as a front-end for network-based ToolBook applications. Note that TB Start does not install your application but rather launches your own installation routine, which you would create using another product like InstallShieldÒ or WiseÒ.

TB Start can be highly customized simply by making changes in its configuration file and changing its graphics. For example, you can choose to allow your application to be started in ToolBook author mode if available, display an on-line help file, and/or run a document or other standard file type. Here is a sample TB Start screen.
