MENUMAN: EASY QUICKBASIC MENUS

============================================================================
MENUMAN was born out of frustration. I was tired of coding menu files
and forgetting "END SELECT" or rummaging around my source code files on disks
and looking for the proper way to do the INSTR function or flipping through
pages of books on QB programming on how to handle an error trap. So, I came
with MENUMAN as a way to always put together a menu that would work and not
have to spend hours of programming.
MENUMAN will generate menus with selection by numbers. It also will
generate menus with selection by letters. The numbers selection has a limit
of 2 to 9 selections. The letters program has a limit of 2 to 9 selections,
too.
Let's take a runthrough of the MENUMAN selection by numbers program:
First step: The options box will appear seconds after the opening
screen. Choose the Numbers or Letters option.
Second step: Choose the number of items you would like in your
menu. There is no need to provide an entry for an "EXIT" or "QUIT" option
because MENUMAN automatically puts such an entry into each menu.
Third step: Each numbered or lettered entry entry will pop onto
the screen after ENTER is pressed. Type in your entries to cover the menu
selections. For example:
≤ 1 ≥ WORDPERFECT UTILITY
≤ 2 ≥ NORTON UTILITY
Fourth step: MENUMAN will ask you again how many menu selections you
would like in your menu. This second question is needed to get the INSTR line
correct and it only applies to the Numbers options.
The process is now complete. MENUMAN'S ad box will appear for 20
seconds and then exit you to the SYSTEM. You have a little bit of
work to do before running your menu program. Information for the CASE SELECT
portion of the program must be filled in before it will run. Take a look
at "SAMPLE1.BAS", "SAMPLEA.BAS" and "RUNMENU.BAS" to see example of how to
fill in the CASE data. After this is done, you can then run "TESTMENU"
to see what your final program looks like.
I am asking a one-time fee of $10 for this programming effort.
As any programmer knows, a great deal of time goes into any program.
The gestation period usually isn't nine months but the labor pains can be
memorable. Registered users will receive MENUMAN updates
programs and updates free of charge on the disk they desire you there
are some cute baby MENUMANs on the drawing board.
