FreshStart is an environment manager for Apple Macintosh computers. FreshStart allows you to control which INITs are executed, and what order they are executed in. Additionally, the Finder/MultiFinder state, and any initially launched applications and desk accessories can be controlled. These settings can be saved in "environments", which can be quickly selected at boot time.
FreshStart is provided under the shareware system. Try it out, and if you don't like it, toss it out. If you keep it, please register for it, so that I can justify continuing to work on it by sending $25 to:
Bob Hablutzel
1940 Sherman Ave
Evanston, IL 60201
Copies of FreshStart may be retained with no need for registering if the sole purpose of the copy is for distribution. (Online bulletin board systems, for example).
If you obtain FreshStart via a method that costs money (a shareware disk clearinghouse, for example), feel free to take out a fair amount of that cost from the registration fee, up to $5. For example, if you pay $5 for a diskette that has FreshStart and 9 other programs (10 total) feel free to send only $24.50 for the registration fee.

(Area code 708 is the new Chicago suburban area code; if you cannot get 708 service try the Chicago area code (312) instead). If I'm not in, leave a message and I'll get back to you.
