Level 5.1
- Added SMSTART/SMRUN/SMEXIT feature.
Level 5.0 ( General Shareware Release )
- The following commands will now accept %n variables in the
parameters indicated. The %n parameters will be expanded
before the command is executed. This allows you to make
these commands dynamic.
Command Parameter which can
contain %n variables
----------- ---------------------
!MSG text
!ASK prompt
!CHOICE prompt
!FILE fmask
!EXEC cmd
- A new SUPRMENU command has been added, !EXEC. The call is
!EXEC,cmd
The cmd string is issued to DOS at the time the !EXEC command
is encountered, during creation of the BAT file to run your
application, by temporarily shelling to DOS from within
SUPRMENU. This is useful for, for example, issuing DOS COPY
commands prior to issuing a !REBOOT. Please note the
restrictions and warnings given in the documentation.
- The main SUPRMENU menu can now be positioned at the Left,
Center or Right of the screen. This is controlled from
SMSETUP.EXE.
UPGRADING FROM PREVIOUS LEVELS:
Because of changes to implement this feature, SMMENU.BAT
must be modified slightly. A program, SMCONV5.EXE, which
comes on the upgrade disk, is called from INSTALL when
installing the upgrade to automatically change the
SMMENU.BAT file on the PATH. It can also be executed
separately. See the documentation for further
explanation.
Level 4.1 (First Shareware Release)
- The call to SUPRMENU now supports an additional parameter
specifying the menu item to position the highlight on.
SUPRMENU uses this when recalling itself after running an
application.
- The *menuname definition line can now specify a menu item
to return to:
*menuname[,rtnmenu[,itemnumber]]
- SMSETUP now generates SMTEST.BAT in the SUPRMENU subdirectory
which can be used to test menus being developed.
- Added prompts to SMSETUP Timeout Parameter window.
- Bug fixes
- Tightened up code which parses the *menuname line. There
were some situations where embedded spaces could cause
problems.
- !MSG was causing skip of SUPRMENU commands if message was
too long. Now truncates message if is too long and
displays the truncated message.
