Purple Software's PowerBase files are fully supported now. The bug which caused a 'not found' message in prior releases is fixed.
When launching StartUp the first time from the Extras bar, StartUp tries to create a file named 'StartUp' in the default folder (usually C:\Documents). In case a file or folder named 'StartUp' already exists StartUp does not raises an error anymore. Instead a file named 'StartUp(01)' will be created.
The default alias name for OPL OPO files does contain the program name now. Example: The default alias name for a file named MyProg.opo is 'OPL - MyProg.opo' instead of simply 'OPL'.

Folders containing space characters are fully supported
EPOC Emulator Release 5 is fully supported. The following bugs are fixed:
- StartUp does not crash on exit anymore
- EPOC programs may be added to the StartUp file

Default alias name is created from the program name used in the Extras bar
StartUp does not crash anymore when long files or folders are stored in the \System\App folder

- Capture folders
- Launch all entries
- Close all open files

'Close all open files' and 'Close other files' do not cause multiple unsuccessful close trials anymore
'Close all open files' and 'Close other files' do kill a program after unsuccessful friendly close requests
'Close other files' does not close open document files when the appropriate program (.app) is defined in the current StartUp file
Document files cannot be added to a StartUp file when the appropriate program (.app) is already defined (and vice versa)

This release supports the new Serie 5mx and other machines running under EPOC Release 5

Option 'Close other files...' added to the tools menu. This option closes all open programs and files which are not defined in the current StartUp file. This option is also used on opening of a StartUp file instead of the 'Close all open files' feature. This option may be used as a 'clean up' function and improves the performance when working with several StartUp files with one or more identical entries in each file (e.g. Macro5 or other useful programs and files you want to be open for quick access).
Programs with an open modal dialog box may be closed now, when no additional dialogs are shown on exit.
Navigation speed improved slightly when the vertical scroll bar is not visible.
Some GUI items and shortcuts have been renamed according to Psion's style guide.
StartUp is now available in German too. Both language versions are distributed together in a single installation file.
Release numbering system changed to the one Psion's Installation programs are using. This release is therefor called V2.00 instead of V2.0.0.
