AppDock is an application launcher similar to backdrop utilities, in that it allows application icons to be arranged in a nice way and the applications to be started without having to deal with directory windows. The design is similar to the Application Dock that forms part of the NeXTStepTM system on NeXTTM computers. AppDock displays a vertical bar with buttons on which you can drop applications or directories. It can run down the left or right hand side of your desktop and adjusts itself to the screen resolution. The dock has "up" and "down" buttons, so it can have more entries than would fit on the screen.
