- INSTANT ACCESS by Prodigy Technologies REGISTRATION ($25.00)
-
- Release v2.65 is both a maintenance release and an upgrade.
-
- Instant Access Menu System (IAMS) allows you to organize your software
- in a centralized fashion. From there you can order which software
- you'd like to run much like ordering what you wish to eat from a
- restaurants menu.
-
- IAMS was designed to get the most out of computer programs with the
- least amount of work, hassle and wasted time. IAMS is both an
- organizer and a productivity tool. Quick and easy access to any
- program on your hard disk. Once set up, you no longer have to deal
- with DOS and can run programs by using only two key strokes.
-
- Some of the highlights of this menu system is it will allow
- installation of upto 400 DOS programs. Internal DOS commands can be
- run. Run programs in "AutoBoot" mode. Initial installation of IAMS is
- done easily via menu driven configuration system. Complete drive,
- directory and file name validation during configuration. User
- definable colors. Automatic screen blanking utility. Usage log for
- program (time) tracking. Online Help. PopUp notepad. Full function
- editor that will be familiar to WordStar, Sidekick or any of the
- Borland programming environment users. Day and time automatic program
- run capability.
-
- Many enhancements have been made in this latest version. Some of these
- are:
-
- o AutoBoot: IAMS can now be run in Normal or AutoBoot mode.
- AutoBoot mode will automatically restart any program that did
- not return to the menu. For example if you were in the middle
- of a program and you were interrupted by a power outage, it
- would automatically be restarted within 10 seconds after the
- power is restored and your computer back up.
-
- o Save Message: If you've made a change in any area with the
- configuration system. did not save it and attempted to exit,
- you will now be prompted for confirmation.
-
- o Banner Message: Users may now enter their own 43 character
- message to insert in the Banner.
-
- Hardware requirements: IAMS was designed for use on any IBM PC/XT/AT, PS/2,
- or any fully compatible machine. It requires 172K worth of RAM to load,
- but less than 4K to run programs.
-
- Although Instant Access could be run off a floppy drive, you would not
- realize the true benefits it provides. Thus, a Hard Disk is recommended.
- DOS 2.0 or greater is required.
