Multiple Associate is a utility designed to work in conjunc-
tion with any file manager, permitting association of files of a
particular extension to an executable file. There are two versions
available a MS-DOS version (which has been tested with X-Tree-Gold
and MS-DOS Shell) and a Windows version (which has been tested with
Windows 3.X and X-Tree for Windows). By Associating Document files
to Multiple Assoc. instead of a single Executable file you can now
associate a single extension with up to 100 different Programs !
This has proven to be an invaluable aid for users, who prefer to
use different text editors for different purposes. It also affords
users of multiple graphics programs the ability to associate
extensions (BMP,PCX,DWG,etc) to all of the programs capable of
importing graphics of a given format.
Multiple Assoc. even provides convenient access to your
printer by permitting you to associate text files with your DOS
print command (C:\DOS\Print.Exe).
Installation is simple, you just copy the supplied files
into a directory named " C:\MENUMARK " and you are ready to go.
Again the Directory MUST be named " C:\MENUMARK " !!
There is a batch program provided to perform this task
for you if you desire [ INSTALL.BAT ].
The Association of a given Extension is done in the customary
manner i.e. the Associate command in Windows or DOS-Shell or an
appropriately named Batch File in X-Tree for DOS users. You may
also specify a default Program to launch a particular document
into by leaving one <space> after the name of this program and
adding the name of the default program with Drive and Path. This
has proven to be an added convenience but is not necessary.
Windows users must associate files with the
executable file [ C:\MenuMark\MANEW.EXE ]
Windows Example:

Batch file [ C:\MenuMark\MM.BAT ]
DOS-Shell Example:

X-Tree-Gold (DOS) Example:
Batch File Name: TXT.BAT
Would Contain:

└─────────────────────────────────┘
X-TREE-GOLD (DOS) Users will be pleased to find that
there is also an Auto-Associate command included in this
package. To Install this feature into X-Tree-Gold, At the
DOS Prompt [ C:\> ] type CD\MenuMark
InstallX + Drive and Directory
where X-Tree resides.
Example: CD\MenuMark
C:\MenuMark\InstallX C:\XTGold
Your original Application Menu Data File XTG_Menu.Dat will
be saved as XTG_Menu.Bak and two commands will be added to
your Application Menu:
A U T O - A S S O C I A T E
(for associating the file your cursor is
presently parked on to Multiple Assoc.)
Open Current File
(for openning the file your cursor is presently parked on)

P.C.Tools users must associate files with the Batch file
[ C:\MenuMark\MMSWITCH.BAT ] because P.C.Tools handles
command line parameters in a slightly different manner.
