JeromeMenu; (C) Copyright 1990, Adam B. Jerome. All rights reserved.
1024 E. 560 N. Provo, UT 84606i
Command line swiches:
-S Setup mode. Use to change menu title, (header).
-F{path/file} Alternate menu file.
If used strictly under DOS, JeromeMenu will use
JMENU.DAT in the current directory to store menu
information, (ie, Menu title, Menu options, option
BATCH files.)
If used while logged-on to a NOVELL fileserver,
JeromeMenu will use the user's SYS:MAIL/{USER_ID}
directory to store the JMENU.DAT file.
Use the -F parameter to indicate the name and
location of another JMENU.DAT type file.
Command Line Switch Examples:
JM Standard method of executing JeromeMenu.
JM -S Change menu title, (or header), text.
JM -Fz:\public\jmenu.dat Use/Create alternate JeromeMenu data
file. (JeromeMenu will attempt to
create the data file if it does not
already exist.)
JM -S -Fz:\public\jmenu.dat Same as above plus change menu title.
JeromeMenu creates a batch file called JMENU$$$.BAT. It is usually created in the current working directory, or the directory in which the JM command was issued. If there is a possability that more than one user will be executing JM concurrently, in the same directory, there is a high probability that JMENU$$$.BAT will become corrupt.
It is possable to designate a directory in which JeromeMenu will create JMENU$$$.BAT. JeromeMenu checks for the existance of a DOS environmental variable called JMPATH. To have JeromeMenu create it's JMENU$$$.BAT file in the directory C:\TEMP, put the following command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET JMPATH=C:\TEMP\
Use this screen to create/edit a DOS-like batch file. The batch
file will be executed when this menu option is selected. You can
use the following keys to edit the batch file: Arrow keys,
LOGIN_NAME User's login name FULL_NAME User's Full Name
STATION Logical Station # P_STATION Physical Station #
OS MSDOS OS_VERSION V2.11 or V3.00
MACHINE IBM PC, Victor9000, etc SMACHINE Short machine name
MEMBER_OF() Yes, No, Error NEW_MAIL Yes, No
USER_ID User's mail & Bindry ID#
Cautions:
When an option is selected, JeromeMenu creates a batch file called JMENU$$$.BAT, and executes it. The last commands in batch file contain information used to restart JeromeMenu. If the batch file execution is interrupted, either by a user issued CTRL-BREAK, or an attempt to execute a batch file from within the JMENU$$$.BAT, it may not be possable to automatically return to JeromeMenu.
If a batch file must be executed from within JMENU$$$.BAT, the batch file should be CALLED rather than executed directly. For example, assume a batch file script wishes to execute MYBATCH.BAT:
MYBATCH.BAT (Wrong way!)
CALL MYBATCH.BAT (Right way.)
