About KiXtart
KiXtart 2001 is a logon script processor and enhanced batch scripting language for computers running Windows
XP/2000/NT or Windows Me/98/95 in a Windows Networking environment.
The KiXtart 2001 free-format scripting language can be used to display information, set environment variables, start programs, connect to network drives, read or edit the registry change the current drive and directory and much more.
KiXtart 2001 is based on KiXtart 95, and is designed to be fully backward compatible. However, some restrictions apply. Please see the
"What's New" section of the manual for full details.
KiXtart 2001 was designed and developed by Ruud van Velsen of Microsoft
Netherlands.
The program was developed using Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Visual C 6.0, Microsoft Assembler 6.1 and the Windows 32 Software Development Kit.
The SPK format used by the PLAY command was originally designed by Gordon E. Peterson II. The SPK files were translated from BASIC and Assembler programs gathered from various public domain sources.

KiXtart is the result of feedback,
suggestions and ideas from people all over the world and from all types of
organizations. Once the first alpha-versions of the latest update started
passing the compiler, even more people started testing, re-testing, and
testing yet again, thereby producing the truly exciting end result that is
now called KiXtart 2001 (version 4).
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to all of you, and Keep
Scripting!
Very special thanks go out to all the enthusiastic die-hards who over the
years supported KiXtart (and kept me alive) by hosting and/or actively
participating in KiXtart web-sites, forums, mail-lists and bulletin
boards. The group of people involved is far too large to list in full, but
some names absolutely require mentioning: Steve Wilson, Steve Ognibene,
Larry Duncan, Brian Styles, Jim Kay, Henri Wiering, Shawn Tassie, Kevin
Cowan, Humberto Roche García y María C. Meléndez Mulero, Erik Kærholm,
Jochen Polster, Chris Matheson, Bryan Steele, Brad Schunk, Ben Burnett,
Rob Butler and of course the people at BrainBuzz: thanks guys, you really
made a difference!
Once again, my sincerest thanks to all of you, and I hope to see you again
in the next release!
