Program Description

Discstarter is a highly customizable offline browser that allows the creation of modern, professional-looking menus and front-ends for CD-ROMs by using simple HTML. These front-ends meet the highest demands of quality and stability. Special programming knowledge is not required and you will not have to deal with complex authoring tools. Enhanced features for comfortable offline browsing are available, such as instant execution of EXE, ZIP, PDF and other file types directly from HTML pages. Any special system requirements for your menu, like activated JavaScript or the availability of the Flash(tm) plug in, can be easily tested by Discstarter. Also typical security features of normal web browsers such as popup blockers or warnings when clicking on a link that points to an executable file are disabled by Discstarter because it has been designed especially for offline content. So browser security features cannot mess up your front-ends and their functionality any more. Optional visual effects such as a drop shadow under Discstarter's browser window, or a smooth fade-in on startup, promote a professional look and feel to the user. A simple and clean looking Start Menu or a stunning multimedia application: everything is possible! Not only CD-ROM menus can be created using Discstarter, but impressive digital business cards, product or company presentations, catalogs, documentation and PowerPoint presentations can also be made. Other new media such as e-books or e-learning content can be easily created using Discstarter. Everything is done using HTML and other well known web technologies such as JavaScript, Flash(tm) or DHTML. This saves you lots of money and time because you can use the same content in many different ways e.g. for the Web, for print and now also for offline CD-ROM content. No other authoring tool offers this great synergy! Only a few clicks are required to set up a fully customized front-end.
