1. Features

If you've always gotten a kick out of the way MacOS and OS/2 are able to 
make their windows spring open with animation effects, then PopOpen is 
for you. PopOpen is a small utility that brings window animation to 
Windows and Windows NT desktops.

Please refer to the file POPOPEN.DOC for a complete list of features as 
well as a list of what's new in this version.
