I’m pleased to announce that my Q-Dock docking station software for Window Manager 2 systems has now been made freeware and is available to download from its own page on my website, where you can find a lot of information about it, screen dumps, and downloads. The manual is also available as a Word or PDF file if you prefer that to the Quill DOC file supplied in the zip files.
Sample screen from Q-Dock
Q-Dock is an example of a program dock system, which is a kind of “tray” in which programs are parked and represented by icons. You can just click on these icons to start a program – it makes life so much easier than having to manually type in EXEC commands.

Use nice GD2 sprites as icons, and make use of alpha-blend transparency for the docks.
