Master Menu by Metro Associates REGISTRATION $ 49.00
UTIL APR90 MASTER MENU METRO DOSSHELL
FILES: mamenu.sdn
New to SDN
MASTER MENU is a system which provides easy access to your
computer applications. It is designed to relieve the PC user
of the task of remembering the startup procedures for each
application. By establishing these startup procedures one
time and storing these procedures in the menu file, the user
may then access any application with a single keystroke.
MASTER MENU runs on any PC-DOS or MS-DOS based system with a
hard disk. The system can be used on a Floppy system but
with little advantage.
We fully realize that there are many Menu programs out in the
world but we also BELIEVE that MASTER MENU is the simplest
and most straightforward for the personal computer user
(especially small businesses) who have absolutely no
knowledge of DOS or the basic functions which they will use
in a day to day operation. This typically consists of
changing directories and keying start up commands as required
by each piece of application software.
MASTER MENU is not TSR, contains NO unnecessary features
which tend to complicate use for the computer illiterate. It
simply allows a user to automatically access his or her
software which of course is the primary purpose of having a
computer system. Once a user finishes use of their software
and exits it, control returns back to MASTER MENU ready for
other work by the user.
MASTER MENU is written and supported by heavily experienced
Computer professionals who come from the large scale business
Data Processing environment and now service small
businesses. MASTER MENU is written in Microsoft 3.0A COBOL
and supported at a Microsoft approved BETA site.
Therefore, we would like to make MASTER MENU available
nationally on the following basis:
1. FREE to all Sysops, Software Developers and other
categories of persons who do NOT operate a business or use
PC's to support a business. In other words, if you use
it - great, feel free. If you make money from it, then
share it with us (SEE BELOW).
2. We encourage the above listed who sell hardware and
application software to small business or functional users
to offer MASTER MENU as a basic feature of their user's
system and set it up in the user's AUTOEXEC.BAT for them.
We currently have many customers who do not know the first
thing about DOS commands because once their application
software has been initially installed MASTER MENU is used
to provide them that routine access without concerning
themselves with DOS.
Charge your user a reasonable license fee for MASTER MENU
(suggested $49.00) and remit 50% to METRO Associates on an
honor basis for registration. We have found that a fee in
this range is more than justified since the user's
operation is greatly simplified and keying time is saved
on every activity. Furthermore, the usual Start-up BAT's
files which often accompany application software can be
eliminated since we have not found one which cannot be
simulated by MASTER MENU.
