Welcome to TopGroup
TopGroup is a fast, low resources program launcher and alternative
Windows shell. With a minimum of clicks you can launch files without
navigating Program Manager groups. TopGroup maintains a clean desktop
by eliminating Program Manager's windows and icons. With TopGroup, you
click on a single icon - - always on top - - to view a popup menu and run
your programs. The launch attributes of each program may be configured,
and system resources are monitored for continuous display. TopGroup's
icon supports drag-drop launching of files from Windows File Manager.
The registered version of TopGroup provides a startup group, multiple
program launching via "suites", and customized drag-drop launching from
the TopGroup icon.

--A 386 or 486-based PC with a hard drive, Windows 3.1 or higher, MS-DOS
3.3 or higher, a VGA or better color monitor, and a mouse
--Windows Notepad editor on your system path
