The program is not abandoned, there is a new release in the github repo https://github.com/salvadorbs/Asuite/releases/tag/v2.0.0
This program is slowly sinking into neglect and abandonment since 2011.
ASuite comes in two editions ...
Both are BETA status except for v1.5.1.2 last full release in 25-May-2008
https://sourceforge.net/projects/asuite/files/ASuite/1.5.1.2/
The developer last promised to finish new v2.0 BETA in 2011 ... but it has never happened.
If you are looking for a compact GUI (IMO) v1.5.12 is the better choice.
Younger v1.5.2 beta has bugs
v2 wins my ugly award, with an [x] at the foot of the UI that "Quits" ASuite, and does not just close the window
I have been using v1.5.12 for the past 11 years on various machines with no problems.
I did not want flashing lights; bells.n.whistles; xmas.tree that competed for desktop.real.estate
There are plenty of flashy launchers on the net, if that is your thing
ASuite launches, folders, files, URLs, applications
Portable and installer available
https://sourceforge.net/projects/asuite/files/ASuite/1.5.1.2/
o-----------------o Win-7 PRO x64 and x32 (5 machines)
v2.0 released 21-April 2020
Not discontinued ... just that the developer is v-e-r-y slow
IMO ... GUI is very ugly, I am using v1.5.12 in Classic Mode ... clean sharp GUI
no cartoon characters ...!
Files, folders, EXEecutables, and URLs.
v1.5.1.2 ... upto Win-7
v2.0 ... upto Win-10

I think PStart is more simple but the newest 2.1 alpha from 2021 looks much better than the older versions. I especially did not like 1.5.1.2. Overall it looks pretty good and is very portable with an option to safely remove hardware. Glad to see it is not dead.
wtf
