SmartPower Toolbar
The PC and workstation versions of SmartPower have the same menus. However, some dialog boxes may look slightly different on the two platforms due to the different window environments. The functionality is the same on both platforms, though the locations of the fields and buttons on the dialog boxes may vary. The names of some fields may also vary between the PC and workstation versions.
