Title Super Start v1.30
Description Super Start greatly speeds up the task of launching a program. With Super Start, you simply go to the Var-Link, choose the program that you want to run so that it is shown on the Home Screen. Then you press ENTER. Next, Super Start goes to work, and does all of the rest of the typing for you! Super Start includes its own program launcher internally. You can use it by typing sstart("program") or sstart.sstart("program"). This launcher can be used in place of all launchers on your calculator. This saves you a lot of RAM and ARCHIVE memory because you do not need individual launchers for each ppg compressed program. This FLASH app needs 12 bytes of RAM to launch a program compared to the 2009 bytes needed for ttstart to launch a program (a 99.4% difference!). This means that the programs you launch will have more memory available for them to use! Super Start is also very useful for developers. If they have Command Post Plus installed, Super Start can be configured to monitor every program that it launches for memory leaks!

If you use more than one or two PPG-compressed ASM programs on your calculator, you really should have Super Start installed. As the description states, you can throw away all those PPG launchers and directly run the PPG files quickly and easily from the Home Screen. Super Start has proven very reliable in my personal experience and is very convenient. The leak watch feature that works with Command Post Plus! is also helpful, even if you're not quite a developer—if you find that your free RAM is inexplicably shrinking even accounting for all the things you have in RAM, and it only gets recovered when you do a [2nd]+[Left]+[Right]+[ON] reset, this can help you find which program's the culprit. It works for all ASM programs that you launch with it, not just PPG ones.

I highly recommend using Super Start to start any PPG programs rather than messing with their original launchers. Sometimes those launchers are old and can either give error messages or even crash your calculator. I've been able to start programs that come with buggy launchers by using Super Start to start them. Especially given Super Start's size (which seems very small for a Flash App), I'd say there really isn't any reason not to use it.

I fully recommend Super Start. I'm hard pressed to find anything wrong with it at the present!
