Hi,

   Attached is 2.2.  Try pressing letters, and you'll see it now jumps
through the file list. :)
   Anyway, I'd REALLY appreciate it if you would post this to
comp.binaries.apple2.  I can actually post messages now, but this Mac can't
even handle the 32k segments that I've split it up into!  Even TeachText
says the segments are too large!  Ridiculous!  I think the limit is about
10k or so for this news program, so I guess that rules out files...
   There is even a short (ok, rather long) description of IA, so that those
people on c.b.a2 know what they are downloading... :)

Ian.

This is version 2.2 of Instant Access.

Instant Access is a program launcher.  It is meant to replace the Finder(tm)
as your Start file.  Off floppy it will save you 20 seconds in loading
time over the Finder(tm), and will even load in significantly faster than
the System 6 Launcher (which is only 1.5k in size!).  Hopefully it will
perform all the tasks that even the most heavily extended Finder(tm) can
do - and if not then tell me what you want!

It is $10 ShareWare.  My e-mail address is: user0213@student.anu.edu.au

This program can:
* Launch S16, SYS and BAS files
* Install CDA and NDA files
* View most text file formats:
  e.g.  TXT, AWP (AppleWorks Classic), SRC, Teach
* Display most graphics formats:
  e.g.  Uncompressed 16/256/3200, PaintWorks, PaintWorks Gold 640,
        PackBytes 16/256/3200, Apple Preferred, DreamGrafix, PrintShop,
        PrintShop GS, French APP, PaintWorks Animations, HiRes, GIF
* Play most sound files:
  e.g.  Uncompressed, ACE, ASIF, rSound, HyperStudio
* Play most song files:
  e.g.  SoundSmith w/wavebank, SoundSmith w/ASIFs, MegaTracker, Amiga MODs

This program can also:
* Display file info and let you change it
* Delete files
* Rename files
* Copy files
* Move files
* Create folders
* Rename disks
* Format disks
* Erase disks
* Shutdown the system
* Perform a warm or cold slot reboot
* Save your personal preferences
* Protect your monitor with a screen blanker

Other great features:
* Written in 100% assembly, making it fast, and small in size.
* Really cool custom interface, but remains easy to use.
* "Free Tools", making it load faster than any other GS/OS launcher around.
* Always remains memory resident so reloading is Instant!
* Support and future versions!
* CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP!


Changes since version 2.0:

Version 2.1
-----------
* Added Sort Files option
* Added Screen Blanker time option
* Added Background editor/Colour editor
* Minor bug fixes
* Added the following keyboard shortcuts:
   o Arrow keys select files
   o Return opens files
   o Escape closes folder
* Added support for Amiga MOD music files
* Added support for GIF graphics.
* Added support for ASIF and HyperStudio sound files
* Optimized some code
* Now handles out of memory situations better

Version 2.2
-----------
* New improved Window Manager & Control Manager
* SoundSmith/MegaTracker songs are now handled by the
   radical MegaTracker player.  This means they take less
   CPU time while playing, and also means you can load songs
   that come with ASIF instrument files
* Added another keyboard shortcut.  Pressing a letter selects
   the first file in the list that starts with that letter.  This
   is only active if you have Sorted Files turned on
* Clicking on the pathname box in the file list closes the
   current directory
* System 6.01 tuning
