Apollo 2.3
==========

This is the Japanese translation of version 2.3 of Apollo, the very popular
launching utility.

		"A must-have program" (MacAddict, August 1998)

        "Apollo, the ultimate launcher ... My advice: grab it before it
         gets gobbled up by some softare company that knows a $200 product
         when it sees one" (David Pogue, MacWorld)

        "The best $30 I ever spent" (DJ: Seattle, WA)
        "I've never been so pleased with a bit of shareware" (JR: Palo Alto, CA)
        "The best launcher around" (WS: Surrey, UK)
        "Many thanks for your amazing software" (RB: Linz, Austria)

Apollo is a launching utility.  You configure a menu containing those 
applications, control panels, desk accessories, folders and documents you 
use frequently.  Then, whatever you are doing, a click of the mouse pops up 
the menu and lets you open any of the configured items.  Any item in 
Apollo's menu can also have its own hot key.  You can organise items into 
groups, with each group having its own submenu.  If a group is made 
"active", selecting its name makes Apollo open all the items in the group 
seriatim.  Apollo can automatically control the sound level and screen 
depth for each application, changing them as you switch between 
applications.  Apolo also has facilities for switching between applications 
using keyboard or menu.

New features in version 2.3 include "public" groups, which can be included
in more than one set, and "pseudonyms", which allow you to rename items so
they appear in Apollo's menus under different names.

New features in version 2.2 included a contextual menu plugin for one-click
configuration (system 7 users are catered for as well), and more options
for sorting of folder submenus.

New features in version 2.1 included integration with Default Folder (v2.9 
or better required), much improved icon handling and the ability to 
position Apollo's icons anywhere in the menu bar simply by option- clicking 
and dragging.

Apollo 2.3 is shareware: the fee is US$30 or 15 pounds sterling.  There are 
significant discounts for multiple-copy and site licences.  There is no 
upgrade fee for registered users of previous versions.  Registration can be 
made via Kagi Shareware.  Registration and online registration utilities 
are provided as part of the package.  Kagi can accept payments by credit 
card.
