PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

     Button  Manager is an multi-icon-bar utility that provides  quick
     access  to  applications.  Program Manager groups and  icons  are
     automatically reflected by Button Manager; each group  becomes  a
     resizable  button  bar that can separately be opened  and  placed
     anywhere  on  your desktop.  Previous set-up is  remembered  each
     time  the program is started.  You can designate some or all bars
     to  stay  on  top,  minimize, maximize, or  cascade.   Optionally
     display  program  descriptions in the title bar  as  your  cursor
     glides over each icon.

     Unlike  other  programs  of this nature,  this  program  requires
     virtually   no  set-up  before  you  can  start  using   it.    A
     professional  set-up program guides you through the  installation
     process.   A  minute  later  the  program  is  installed  and  it
     automatically  recognizes  the  applications  in   your   Windows
     environment.  In fact, any time you change the groups in  Program
     Manager  or install new Windows applications, these programs  are
     also  reflected  in Button Manager because it reads  the  Windows
     Group  files.   What  this means is that  there  is  no  need  to
     maintain your favourite applications in two places.
