Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
Launch.app is a small program for executing applications, based on WINGs
library (a part of WindowMaker).

Features
~~~~~~~~
- command history;
- executing applications as different users(e.g. root);
- executing console applications;
- tab completion;
- recognition of URLs;
- configuration;

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Unpack the archive. ;)
2. If you have shadow passwords change the line "SHADOW =" to the 
   "SHADOW = yes" in Makefile.
3. Type 'make'.
4. Type 'su' and enter root password.
5. Type 'make install'. 
   Lauch.app binary(Launch) will be installed into the 
   /usr/local/GNUstep/Apps/Launch.app directory by default. If you 
   don't agree this edit Makefile or copy it mannualy.
   Also you can copy manualy small script 'openurl' to open URL in netscape
   browser.
6. Launch.app *must* owned by root and suid'ed if you use shadow passwords.
   Is there any suggestions for another way?

Usage
~~~~~
For short just run /usr/local/GNUstep/Apps/Launch.app/Launch. 
The syntax of usage ala "su" programm is following:

    Launch [-su user command]

where "command" is a programm you want to execute as user "user".
For example:

    Launch -su root xterm -bg black -fg red

will execute command "xterm -bg black -fg red" as user root after 
authentication.
