Preface

Since a few months, I use several startup-sequences, shell-startups and user-startups for a better use of my Amiga. For example, if I need a lot of memory or if I want to speed up my Amiga boot, ..., I change my startup-sequence file. With differents user-startups, I can vary the number of assigns. Shell-startups provide me several programming environments (C, E or Java). That's why I've began to number all these files (startup_sequence1, startup-sequence2, ...) and rename it in startup-sequence, user-startup and shell-startup when i want to use it ... I looked for a software which can manage all the startup files but I didn't found any one :-( So I took my courage in both hands and decided to program my own utility : StartMeUp was born on January 2000.
