UTIL NOV91 TASKMASTER MENU DOSSHELL
FILES: taskmst.sdn
Taskmaster is an itelligent MENU system.
Typical menu systems make computers easier to use, which
makes users more relaxed and productive. With a menu system
users interact with a friendly "Front-End" while the menu
system deals with the unfriendly operating system. This
effectively shields the inexperienced or infrequent user from
the unfriendly aspects of the operating system.
Taskmaster does all this and much more. As the only
programmable user interface product on the market, Taskmaster
is unique. No single "front-end" can satisfy all users;
Taskmaster therefore allows far more extensive and flexible
configuration than competing products. Typical menu systems
allow limited configuration of the user interface; e.g.,
define the names, locations and parameters of your
applications. Taskmaster, however, is implemented as a high
level language. It comes with user menu tasks which permit
you to get up and running immediately while maintaining
flexibility. Yet you may also program Taskmaster for TOTAL
control of the user interface. Everything displayed on the
screen is under your control. You are not stuck with someone
else's ideas. Today you may only want Taskmaster's ease of
use. But tomorrow YOU WILL NEED TASKMASTER'S UNSURPASSED
FLEXIBILITY. Taskmaster is the ONLY user interface that you
cannot outgrow.
Not a programmer? If you can speak English you can program
using Taskmaster's intuitive fourth-generation language. Yet
it has the power to offer you complete control over the
computing environment.
