The Off By One Launch Manager

Introduction

Off By One is a great web browser. I use it in times of crisis, when I need to work out what's wrong the sites I'm visiting/coding, as it doesn't dress up problems with fancy Microsoft speak that no-one understands.

However, recently I have had the need to surf on my PC in the guise of a PDA Phone, and athough I know about the user agent switcher for Firefox, I didn't want the hassle of switching my Firefox configuration to and fro. So I wrote this, the Off By One Launch Manager . It's a simple front end to pre-configure the Off By One INI file, and then launch Off By One.

Because Off By One has limited support for CSS and Javascript, it is ideal for use as a 'fake' Pocket Internet Explorer.

The Launch Manager allows you to set the following before launching Off By One:

To use, download the relevent package below and unzip into your Off By One folder.
