---------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have programs you want started every time you boot? If any of them need
network drives, you need SFUtils!
SFUtils (Startup Folder Utilities) consists of two utilities, ObjWait and
AppWait, and a helper app for setting up ObjWait.
Put the Wait utilities in your startup folder with appropriate parameters. At
bootup they will start and display a dialog that indicates, "Waiting for x:".
After the needed drives are available, your programs will start.
The two Wait utilities have different strengths and weaknesses. By using one
or the other you can start any type of program that will run on OS/2--even a
program with specific DOS or Windows settings.
SFUtils comes with a detailed online manual in .inf format.
The evaluation version of SFUtils is fully functional. It can be found at the
following sites.
