We recommend this as the method of choice for starting the program.<a href="/subdomains/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Launcher.png" data-mce-href="/subdomains/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Launcher.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-490 size-full" src="/subdomains/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Launcher.png" alt="Launcher" width="482" height="368" data-mce-src="/subdomains/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Launcher.png" /></a><br />This release should be the last in the 1.3 line as we move on to MapTool 1.4.
