StartMeUp! (SMU), programmed by Thomas Much, is a popular utility
which adds a handy Windows '95 look-alike Start bar to your MagiC
desktop. It's one of those utilities which requires an ASCII
configuration file to be edited to select options and setup its
menus and this is more than enough to put many people off.

SMU-Setup makes creating your own cascading menu structure child's
play. Simply drag components from the toolbox on the right to the
window on the left. You can move the components about and check
your work using the Test function and when you're happy select
Save which terminates StartMeUp and reloads it using your newly
created START.SET configuration file.

Double clicking on a new object allows it to be named and a
double-click links it to a specific file - using the file selector
as your navigator.

Most SMU options can also be set up, for example the Use custom
resource file option is just a check box away. Sadly SMU-Setup
development has ceased so any future options added to SMU will
have to be added manually but it's a small inconvenience compared
to the huge advantage of setting up the SMU menus.

The English SMU-Setup release includes a public key and is
available from any BBS connected to the FANfiles network, from the
CIX atari.st/files98 topic and on the World Wide Web.
