Another Button Bar is a program that turns a program group into a bar of buttons that resides on your "desktop" and allows you to just click on one of the buttons to launch the application that the icon painted on the button represents. There are probably hundreds of these programs "out there" now, shareware and retail, so i'm reasonably sure you can't make any money distributing a new one (ie-you wouldn't gain much). i just wasn't happy with the available "button bar" programs out there and decided to create my own simple one. The real inspiration came when PC Magazine's John Deurbrouck developed one as their free utility of the month. i thought, "Great! At last a cool freebie and i don't have to buy one of the Shareware ones." It is great except for one small detail: it doesn't allow you to configure the bar to be positioned vertically as opposed to horizontally. Evidently, that's no small trick in C (using the author's method anyway) and was more trouble than the free utility was worth. So we decided to roll own own (so to speak).
