- INTRODUCTION
- ============
-
- RMENU is a non-resident menu system originally developed for use
- in a business environment. Non-resident means that other
- programs may be invoked from RMENU and all of your PC's memory
- that was available to RMENU will be available to those programs.
-
- RMENU is designed for users with a wide variety of PC skills. It's
- simple enough to be used by anyone who can turn on a PC, yet
- it can also be used by power users as well. RMENU allows you to
- create as many menus as you want, and it will remember the last
- menu and its choice for up to fifty levels.
-
- RMENU provides a wide variety of configuration options to assist
- in tailoring it to your particular environment and needs. The
- features and functions of RMENU are well documented in the context
- sensitive help facility available via the [F1] key.
-
- RMENU is distributed without sample menus. The first time you run
- it, you will receive a message that NO MENU EXISTS and you will be
- asked to create one. This will be the opening menu that is displayed
- each time you enter RMENU for the first time. We chose to distribute
- RMENU without a sample menu so that you can immediately see just how
- easy it is to create and use menus with RMENU.
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- ===================
-
- RMENU runs on an IBM-PC or compatible running under MS-DOS 2.1
- or greater, with a Monochrome, CGA, EGA or VGA monitor and display
- adapter and a hard disk drive.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ============
-
- To install RMENU, simply copy the files, RMENU.EXE and RMENU.HLP
- to whatever directory you wish to use as your menu directory. To
- start the menu, type RMENU at the DOS prompt.
-
- You may install RMENU in any directory; however, RMENU searches for
- it's menu information in the current directory; therefore you should
- make sure that you are in the proper directory before starting RMENU.
-

-

- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

- Mike Smedley's CXL library.
-
-
- VERSION NUMBERING
- =================
-
- Version numbers ending in even numbers are unregistered shareware
- releases.
-
- CHANGE LOG
- ==========
-
- Version 1.01 - First release for customer use.
-
- Version 1.02 - First shareware release.
-
- Version 1.03 - Corrected problem when returning from the screen saver
- where the key press was being passed through to RMENU.
-
- Version 1.04 - Not released.
-
- Version 1.05 - Corrected problem where the mouse buttons would be
- disabled until the next keyboard press if the user
- entered the HELP system using the [F1] key.
- - Corrected a problem that occurred if the user entered a
- letter instead of a number during menu updating when
- prompted for where the menu item was to be inserted.
- - Corrected a problem where after inserting on menu
- selection, any subsequent attempt to insert a menu item
- would fail unless the user exited RMENU and restarted
- it.
-
- Version 1.06 - Not released.
-
- Version 1.07 - Corrects the [F5] LogOff function which would fail if
- selected after a valid DOS menu selection was made.
- - Revises the action taken if [Esc]ape was pressed in the
- RMENU Command Editor screen. Previously, pressing [Esc]
- would restore the current line and then take the user to
- the "Save Changes?" prompt. This would in effect delete
- any changes made on the current line. Pressing [Esc]
- leaves the line intact and take the user to the "Save
- Changes?" Prompt.
- - When editing a command line in the RMENU Command Editor
- screen, the last character entered would in some cases
- be lost. This problem is now corrected.
-
- - Restore cursor when leaving RMENU to execute a user DOS
- program. Some programs, notably Word Perfect, do not
- set the cursor when started. Because RMENU did not
- restore the cursor before starting Word Perfect, Word
- Perfect would start without a cursor.
-
- Version 1.08 - Second shareware release.
