LaunchControl by Douglas Boling

PURPOSE
        LaunchControl lets you control how DOS and Windows applications
are launched under Windows 3.1. For Windows programs, LaunchControl lets
you set the environment variables and the window size and position. For
DOS programs launched under Windows, LaunchControl lets you automatically
close Windows, run the program, and then restart Windows.

LaunchControl performs its tasks by creating .LCD files, which are like
advanced .PIF files. These files contain the launch data for each program
you want LaunchControl to launch.

SETUP 
       Copy the executable file LNCHCTRL.EXE into a directory listed in
your PATH statement. Then create an association in File Manager for the
LaunchControl extension .LCD. To do this, start File Manager, select the
File | Associate menu item, fill in the extension field with LCD, and
fill in the program name field with the fully specified filename (path
included) of LNCHCTRL.EXE. LaunchControl is used in two ways: to edit
.LCD files and to launch programs according to the settings in the .LCD
files.
