GroundControl Overview
GroundControl is a
full-featured tool that lets you build your own macro files to easily
automate tasks on your computer. You have at your disposal over 200
functions to do everything from basic Window controls to the more advanced
email DDE , SendKeys features. You use the Wizards to quickly add commands
to the macro window, or use the toolbars to add commands at the click of a
button. GroundControl handles the syntax and structure, and supplies
examples that illustrate every function’s usage. GroundControl has
advanced registry and file functions. Also, powerful variables so you can
manipulate data with ease. You also get Internet and SQL functions, plus
easy networking features.
This makes GroundControl the fastest and easiest way to get your computer
working for you more effectively.
GroundControl saves each macro you write as a single file, and you can run
other macro files from inside any given macro file. This means you can
specialize your macros for certain tasks ( like subroutines ) and keep
your files small. Using the flow control statements , you can make
real-time decisions to launch those tasks or not. GroundControl comes with
a full set of file functions, and a strong suite of diagnostic functions
to monitor disk space and memory, track and log errors, etc.
GroundControl is not just a simple batch file processor - it comes with
plenty of functions for user interaction with question boxes and input
boxes. This means you can use GroundControl as a front end for other
applications you don't want users to have access to, especially if you
take advantage of the SendKeys and DDE functions.
All in all, GroundControl is a powerful instrument that is easy to use,
easy to maintain, and far-reaching in its capabilities.
GroundControl has received numerous awards
including Ziff-Davis's, and Tucows highest rating!
