Warning: Do not unzip these files into your \HDM directory (or what
ever directory you placed HDM IV in). This can/will over write your

Notes:
This file contains several menus that were designed for HDM IV 4.6x or
above menu system. References to the Global Menu require 4.67 or above.
Hard Disk Menu IV is written by Jim Hass. It is a top notch menu system
that is WELL SUPPORTED by the author. I have worked with Jim closely
since registering HDM IV in Dec., 1990. He has not only responded to
simple questions, teaching me how to use the program more effectively
but he has made major efforts to incorperate suggestions and
enhancements into the program. ** Put simply, he listens! **
Inside this ZIP file you will find many menus for use with the Hard Disk
Menu IV system. One quick word of caution: I have used these menus for
a long time but on occassion I still find a problem where I either made a
type-O or simply made a stupid mistake. If you find one of these
problems please feel free to leave me (Darrell Bivens) a message on the
Silver Bullet BBS in Sweetwater, TN (615) 337-9683 but other than that...
USE THESE MENU MODULES AT YOUR OWN RISK! The reason I say that is quite
simple. ANYONE could alter any of the menu actions inside this ZIP and
have it do anything they want to. For this reason, it would be best to
download this file directly from the Silver Bullet BBS. Another
advantage to this is the fact that I will keep current releases with any
changes or new menus on this board. Any other BBS which shows my name as
the uploader should be OK but still use the "Show Action" - Menu function
in HDM and look at the ACTION string at least once BEFORE you run it. You
can also use the {STEP} function as the first entry in the action (and
after any ||) to see exactly what is being done BEFORE it is done.
Menu # Description
000 Main Menu (Calls most commonly used routines/menus)
010 Custom Startup (Used as first menu of the day to load TSRs)
020 Custom Menu 2 (Has some items for quick personal access)
030 Smartware 3.1 (An intergrated software package)
031 Graphics (Access to most major graphics based programs)
032 Genealogy (Some genealogy programs - Brothers Keeper=Best)
033 Security (Virus/System security utilities)
034 File Compress (File / Archive compressors to reduce storage)
035 Communications (For working with files after hanging up)
036 File Utils (Working with disks on a file level / basis)
037 Disk Utils (Working with disks on a disk level / basis)
038 CPU Utilities (A few things to help make computer use easier)
039 PCTools 6.0 (A comprehensive PCTools 6.0 / CPBACKUP 6.0 menu)
040 DOS Default (DOS menu, comes from HDM.051,052)
041 PCTools Default (PCTools menu, comes from HDM.039,045,046)
042 PCKwik (Cache/Spooler/Keyboard/Screen utility package)
043 Printer (Various printer control programs)
044 Memory Resident (Control memory usage/reporting/TSR loading)
045 PCTools 7.1 (A comprehensive PCTools 7.1 / CPBACKUP 7.1 menu)
046 PCTools 8.0 (A comprehensive PCTools 8.0 Package menu)
047 PCTools 9.0 (Just started 3/9/94. Copied from 8.0)
049 Disk Compress (Disk Compression/Stacker2.0-3.0x)
050 Routing Menu (Goto routines to access all these menus)
051 DOS 3.3 (A fairly complete DOS 3.3 Menu)
052 DOS 5.0 (DOS 5.0 Menu with many of its new tools)
053 DOS 6.2 (Just started 3/9/94. Copied from 5.0)
069 Import/Export (Routine to update menu to / from the Hard Drive)
Since every menu has calls to other menus in this package it is best if
you can keep the same file name as is already set up. Page M and N on
HDM.000 menu have the calls to several of the major menus that I call
often. You can access these pages quickly from ANY menu by calling the
Global Menu, M or N. If you must change the name of a HDM.??? file then
make a record and as you run into any menu that calls the renamed file,
you can find the old/new name easily.
HDMM46?.ZIP History
* As always, these menus are under change and refinement. *
081094 Most of the changes during the past two months have been moving
the menu actions to call the Global Macros. Local Macros are being
removed when there is a Global Macro that is compatable (and the Global
Macros WERE written to be compatable). I am about half way through the
menus now (about HDM.034) in this conversion. Now that HDM468 has been
officially released, I can release my HDMM####.ZIP file which has the
Global Macro Calls in them. This HDMM468.ZIP (HDM Menus) requires HDM
4.68 or above. HDM 4.66 was a Beta release and HDM 4.67 had a problem
using an action with a Local & Global macro using the same # (&1 &&1).
060294 Modified MAXSCAN.BAT and MAX2SCAN.BAT to only use GET for the
initial pause, before any viri scanner is called. The exit errorlevel
will reflect the LAST Viri Scanner(s) errorlevel.
060194 Changed SHEZSET.BAT to ECHO the commands for the viri scanners
and to NOT use MAXSCAN.BAT. The reason for the change is that the
MAXSCAN.BAT does not set the errorlevels (actually clears the level
before exit due to useing GET to cause a pause in the program. Now,
Shez.log will reflect the results of the Viri Scanner exit errorlevel.
Created a CHECKSET.BAT based on SHEZSET.BAT that does the same thing for
the Checkout program. Now the CHECKOUT.LOG will also reflect the exit
errorlevel of the viri scanner(s) used.
052294 HDM IV 4.67 - The Global Menu is available via CTRL-F9 keys.
The new INSERT an Action is available via F5. The old Reports command
(previous F5) is now available via SHIFT-F10.
052194 I have setup more items in the Global Menu and the Global Macro
file. The entries in the Global Macro file are being chosen carefully
to get the maximum use from Macros that are used in more menus than any
other. These 10 macros will allow the removal of an enormous amount of
macros in each and every menu, allowing the macros for each menu to be
more unique and specific to that menu. The only problem I face is to
identify which menus use the Local Macros so they can be converted to
the correct Global Macro. If a menu entry does not work correctly,
please let me know as I probably deleted a Local Macro that is still
being called.
051794 The Directory command is now in the Global Menu.
All items of changes over one year old have been moved to a file
named INDEX.HST. These changes will be moved about every six months.
I have removed pages M & N from every menu except the Main Menu 000.
Also, I have removed the DIRECTORY command from all menus except those
concerning virus scanning & communications. Access to the Pages M and N
is now available through the Global Menu.
051694 On 05/07 I received the beta test of HDMIV 4.66. This is a
MAJOR update to the program. Not due to the AMOUNT of changes but due
to the QUALITY of the changes. The major items are 1) A Global Menu
that is available at the touch of a single key. 2) Global Macros that
are available to ANY MENU ACTION. These two revisions alone have
allowed me to remove two pages from every menu I use (duplicated routing
menus) and the DIRECTORY command from almost every Page of every Menu to
be replaced by three Global Menu Entries. Also, I have began to setup
the most common Macros in the Global Macros to allow consolidation and
additional space savings in every menu.
042894 The major work lately has been in the development of a system to
let Shez use more than one configured Virus Scanner at a time. I
created a SHEZSET.BAT file that ECHOs a command into SHEZSCAN.BAT file.
Shez is now configured to use SHEZSCAN.BAT for virus scanning. This
allows SHEZSCAN.BAT to be changed to use any of the four major viri
scanners I now am testing.
033094 A lot of work has gone into the development of a batch program
that will use ALL four major virus scanners to check a file/directory/
disk with a single command. The batch name is MAXSCAN and can be used
by simply typing MAXSCAN A: or MAXSCAN C:\MENU\*.* . This will
check for and use the four configured virus scanners automatically.
031994 McAfee Assts have now created a 'Next Generation' Virus scanner/
remover that is FAST. Current release is B2.01 and it is still in Beta
Testing but it is good. I have created a new page Q in the Security
Menu to allow access to (SCAN2.EXE). I renamed the file to allow access
to the current V113 and Beta release 2.01. The options have changed so
many of the menu commands and shells will have to be rewritten. The new
defaults provide for Maximum protection (which is usually the options
that I had to use) so fewer options will have to be used. Looking Good!
022294 Added ReSizable RAMDisk to the Disk Utility Menu (037 S). This
RAM Disk can be resized and will still retain the disk contents in tact.
There seems to be a small bug when applying 'writeprotect'. For some
reason it wants to 'resize' the disk changing the number of directory
entries and bytes available. You can immediately resize the disk back
to its correct size/format and everything is fine. Good program.
021994 Moved most of the Communications Menu (000 C) to the Communications
Menu (035 B). I also move some of the entries around on the page. I left a
few of the most needed entries on Menu 000 Page C.
021794 Downloaded the official release of 4.65 from Comstar BBS today. This
release is a minor update to 4.64 which fixed a small HDMHelp display
problem. I Added Wildcat 2.61 Test Drive to page W. I could not get Boyan
Host mode to operate properly so I am trying the Shareware release of
Wildcat.
020794 Received the latest beta test version of HDM IV 4.65 today. It has a
new "backdoor" to the backdoor to allow the new "Backdoor" feature to
provide access over the User ID table. Also, new checks to prevent locking
yourself out of the Master Password Table.
020594 Not much going on. Downloaded HDM IV 4.64. Nothing new in the
history file since 4.63. I suspect clean-up, though I could not find
anything wrong with 4.63. Most changes are just for version numbers of some
SUPER SHAREWARE suported by these menu files.
110993 Moved HDM Help/DOC/*.LOG read menu options to HDM.000 H. I moved
ZIPLOG (and related) entries to the File Compression Menu HDM.034. This
makes it easier to get to the LOG file entries and puts the compression
where it belongs.
102793 Not many additions to the menu lately. Most changes are around the
virus scanning/detection menus and remote cable control menus. The most
recent/powerful virus detection versions: McAfee Assts 108, Thunder BYTE
6.08, and F-Prot 2.09f are all fully supported. Also, the best archive
managers that use these scanners are TranScan 4.11, Shez 9.4, ZZap 6.4 and
Checkout 2.0.
092293 Moved HDM.000 Page T (Text View/Edit) menu to the File Utilities
Menu Page T. These programs are specifically for working with files either
editing or viewing. Rewrote HDM.000 Page T to provide quick access to the
most used Text Utilities. Removed X 3.0 Page from File Compression Menu.
The program is too old and is no longer viable with ZIPR and ZIPRLite.
091593 Downloaded HDM IV 4.61 from Apogee BBS today. The one apparent
change is the last suggestion I put in concerning HDM's use of the built in
file lister to allow help screens to be more than one screen long. Now press
F4 while viewing a custom help screen [F1] and HDM will call its internal
file viewer/printer to view ALL the file.
082393 Began to build a ZZap Page in the Communications Menu. This will
allow using ZZaps ability to process multi-level archives to test for virus
infections. I already have menu entries in the Compression Menu devoted to
ZZap as it is an excellent program for converting archive files from one
archive program/format to another.
081793 Downloaded HDM IV 4.60 from Comstar BBS today. I have not been
giving Jim a lot of feedback so I must have missed a beta test or two. I
did offer some suggestions for HDM so hopefully I will get back into the
testing of pre-releases of HDM IV.
080993 Added Pages F & G on Security Menu supporting F-Prot Anti-Virus
Software Package. The latest version of VSumx reports F-Prot 2.09 as having
the HIGHEST detection rate of ANY Package (including McAfee Assts VIRUSCAN
(SCAN) Program). It will be supported by this menu system in the future.
Changes in other menu areas will be expanded to support SCAN, TBSCAN, and
now F-Prot as scanner options.
080493 Not a lot of additions. I did remove all menu options for Neodisk
(Real time disk compression like Stacker) due to the author abandoning the
program after DOS 6.0 came out with its own disk compression. Most changes
were for cleanup, corrections and minor improvements. Nothing exciting.
050793 Received the official HDM IV 4.55 release today. Everything is
working fine. I will begin to incorperate the newly changed features of the
{CONFIRM~title~delay~default Y/N} function. The changes with the {FILE} and
{DIR} functions caused a need for some changes in some menus by the old vs
new way these commands work. *later* All menus have been checked for
compliance with the way {FILE} and {DIR} functions work. I also changed the
macro call for choosing the disk drive to include the ":" following the
macro. This allowed me to remove the ":" in all other areas and standardize
the way the drive selection was made.
041493 Modified FORMAT.BAT to reverse the effects of PCTools install
routine that renames FORMAT.COM to FORMAT!.COM. My FORMAT.BAT file expects
to use !FORMAT.COM when doing a DOS format command. If it finds FORMAT!.COM
in the root or DOS directory it now renames it to !FORMAT.COM.
041293 One of the new features in HDM IV 4.55 is a change to the {CONFIRM}
function to allow a timed delay and default answer...
{CONFIRM~Title~delay~Y/N} like {CONFIRM~Sure?~10~N}. This change can
effectively replace the {DELAY} function recently added plus give the option
to change the default Y answer to N if desired.
033093 I read an article that gave the indication that DOS 6.0 will drop
the ASSIGN command entirely. Thus I upgraded the DOS 5.0 menu with page S
(Subst) that does the same actions as the ASSIGN command.
032993 HDM IV 4.55 is in Beta test. I will try and not make too many
changes to these menus that require the enhancements of 4.55 until it is
actually released. I am happy to claim the fame to several of the new
enhancements being suggestions that I have put in. As I have said many
times... Jim Hass listens to the users.
031193 OOPS. On 3/4 I changed IMPORT.BAT and EXPORT.BAT so they would not
run if they were not called by the menu (checked exact contents of %0.
Unfortunately IMPORT.BAT calls itself after copying all needed files to C:
it changes to drive C: and runs IMPORT.BAT to do the UNZIPping of files.
This makes it much faster. However the way IMPORT.BAT called itself was not
the same as the menu did sooooo the UNZIPping process did not happen. I
don't know how many changes I lost but it is now fixed.
021593 Changed the Autoexec.bat and CCC.BAT scan procedures to speed up the
Tuesday and 15th scans. CCC.BAT can still do a FULL/Complete scan as
before. Removed ASK.EXE from HDMM###.ZIP file. The program that is used by
several of the batch files is GET V2.5 and is available as shareware on most
BBSs. DL TranScan 4.05. It still has some small bugs but so far is the
BEST archive converter for updating to PKZIP 2.04g (current). PKZIP still
has one bug. Using SET PKTMP=C: and the command line switch -bC: (where C:
is any hard drive). PKZIP can corrupt a zip when updating an existing
archive on a almost full floppy disk where the archive becomes too large and
the disk becomes FULL. PKZIP will exit without any error messages or
without setting errorlevel for 'Disk Full' the error.
021093 Completed modifications to CCC.BAT (Check, Clean, Compress) for
Stacker 2.0 or 3.0x support. Since Stacker changed the SCHECK.EXE filename
to CHECK.EXE the program now looks for either. This batch file uses two ID
files if you have Stacker installed on drive C:. First create a file named
STACKER.? where ? is the host drive where the hidden STACKVOL.### file is
located. Second create a file named STACKED.? where ? is the STACKED drive
letter. This is after any drive letter swapping has occured. You can
create either of these files by using the ECHO command as shown below:
ECHO Stacker Host Drive >> STACKER.C
ECHO Stacked drive is >> STACKED.D
020893 Created a new page in the Communication Menu (Page T) which gives
access to TranScan for automatically scanning various areas just as Page S
does for Shez. Modified Shez page to scan the four main areas using either
SCAN from McAfee Assts or the TBAV package. Updated the TranScan entry in
the Compression Menu (Page Y) to allow for access to multiple configuration
files.
020493 Downloaded the latest version of TranScan 4.02. This is an archive
tester, virus scanner and conversion program that works as a stand alone
program or with several BBS packages offering automatic update of the BBS
data files.
020193 Since I am not aware of any archive converter that will allow
reZIPping ALL files on a floppy (when free space won't allow it on the
floppy disk) I created a new page in Archiver Menu 34 (Page Z). The menu
options work together using PCOPY, PDEL, (SHEZ or ZZAP or TranScan), PKZIP
and PKUNZIP to copy from any drive:\dir to a temperary directory
(\TEMPZIPC), use SHEZ, ZZAP, or TranScan to ReZIP the files, use PKUNZIP to
test the ZIPs, and use PCOPY to move the files back to the drive:\dir (PDEL
is only used if readonly files are encountered). The process is automated
as much as possible.
020193 Downloaded SHEZ86.ZIP. Updated SHEZ menu for autoscaning different
areas. Added menu entry that allows SHEZ to use alternate SHEZ*.CFG files
now that SHEZ requires at least one external configuration file. Enabled
all PKZIP 2.04e (POWER) options in the hopes that they are more stable now.
013093 Updated PKZIP menu to allow for upto five alternate PKZIP.CFG files.
Began using PKZIP.CFG to set maximal compression.
012793 Downloaded PKZ204E.EXE directly from PKWare BBS. Fixes 22 known
problems with compatability. Began using 2.04e on 1/29/03.
012093 Received HDM 4.5? update notice. Had recently sent several
suggestions plus a report of a small problem with HDMDIAL apparently not
sending text strings to the modem as the old version had (change or bug I am
not sure which).
010593 Downloaded PKZ204C.EXE directly from PKWARE BBS. I will start
looking at creating menu options specifically for the 2.xx release. (turns
out that 2.04c was too buggy. Did not put to use)
010493 Received ThunderBYTE 5.02 (downloaded 5.03) from a THE US
DISTRIBUTION BBS in Madisonville, TN.. I took a serious look at the program
and created two pages specifically for the ThunderBYTE anti-virus package in
the SECURITY menu. One page duplicates the SCAN AREAS page (which uses
McAfees virus scanner). The second page gives access to the most all the
modules of the ThunderBYTE package including the TBAV shell which provides
FULL configuration and operation of the package and documentation access.
The program is FAST and Very Effective at identifying viruses by string
matching and VIRUS LIKE ACTIVITIES/CODE.
