WebLaunch Enhancements to SmartLaunch
The same executable file, DISCSL.EXE, provides the two
launch functions, SmartLaunch and WebLaunch. The follow-
ing changes have been made to SmartLaunch to enable the
launching of applications from a web browser:
ü A new field in the New Item configuration dialog indi-
cates whether the item should be web-launchable. This
field is saved in the SmartLaunch database. Existing da-
tabases are automatically updated to include this field,
but the items are not made web-launchable until each
item is individually designated. The default setting for
this feature is On.
ü SmartLaunch generates a WLAUNCH.HTM web page file
in the specified subdirectory. This file is generated every
time a change is made to the database, i.e., when an item
is added, deleted or modified.
ü Web-enabling features will always be On, with the result
that all the products that contain SmartLaunch automati-
cally contain WebLaunch.
