Usage

There are two ways to use the program:
1. For each program that is to be started a copy of StartProg.exe with the corresponding StartProg.ini should be placed in a separate directory.
2. For each program that is to be started, StartProg.exe and StartProg.ini must be copied to a different name (for example Start_RemoteCap.exe and StartProg_RemoteCap.ini). In this case there is no need of a separate directory for each starter program.

The entry/entries in StartProg.ini must be set appropriately.

The command line parameters of the StartProg.exe will be transfered to the program that is to be started.

The executable Start_Sga7w.exe is the same as StartProg.exe except that it contains the icon of the Sga7w program. Thus by using Start_Sga7w.exe instead of StartProg.exe for Sga7w programs, shortcuts to the starter program will look like the shortcuts to Sga7w programs. The same applies to the other client programs.
