> 
> 2. First find config subdirectory under your X:\Office50
> and expand it.
> 
> 3. You will find two subdirectories named start and startup.
> 
> 4. Drag and drop a copy of your favorite apps(*.URL files), but not
> presentations (it hangs) from start to startup. I put spreadsheet app,
> Starwriter and the draw program in the startup directory.
> 
> 5. Doubleclick on Staroffice icon:
> 
> 6. The desktop will come up first followed by a slight delay,
> then the apps you put in the startup will be loaded.
> 
> 7. From this point on in a session all the apps will be memory cached

> of the other apps, EX. HTML writer and presentions will also
> launch instantly!!!!!!!!!
> 
> 8. You can minimize the whole works with the standard OS/2 PM
> minimize button and close the Staroffice from there.
> The next time you launch the whole works will be rebuilt
> into memory but stay minimized and out of sight until you need it.
> 
> 9. After everything is behaving properly, you can put
> a shadow of the Staroffice.exe icon in your OS/2 startup folder
> and the next time you start your computer all that will be loaded
> up automatically.
> 
> 10. To be sure, it takes a lot longer to boot up OS/2 this
> way but you can go get a cup of coffee during boot up
> knowing when it is finally finished you have some serious
> code in memory waiting for your use.
> 
> 11. I have been using Staroffice in memory for several
> months and it is very well behaved.  I can crash Netscape
> any way I choose and it never brings Staroffice down with it.
> 
> 12. I am currently running a Deschutes overclocked to 496 MHz
> with a 128 Mg memory module.  I consume all but about 67 Mgs
> during bootup but the remaining memory is plenty for everything
> else and I never get near a swapfile condition.
