M E N U
The menu program system was developed to enable the novice user to
run programs from a floppy disk without having to understand file types, or
dos itself.
The MENU program works by reading a data file FILES.DAT which
contains the name of the application (set by MAKEMENU) and the file type.
MENU prints out numbers by each file name, and waits for a user response.
MENU can: print out DOC files, run COM, EXE, and BAT files. It was
written in basic and uses a dos shell to execute the given file.
Setting up your menu system is simple, just put all the programs
onto a system disk, along with your favorite ramdisk, and boot the disk.
AUTOEXEC.BAT will copy all the important files to the ramdrive (C:). Copy
the files you want on your user friendly disk (must be a system disk) and
type C:SETUP. SETUP.BAT will then copy the importan files onto your
runtime disk, and execute MAKEMENU.
MAKEMENU generates FILES.DAT used by MENU. You will be prompted
for each file name, then the type. If you can't remember the type, or the
files on your runtime disk, type D and MAKEMENU will give you directory
options.
The only files that have to be on your runtime disk are:MENU.EXE
and FILES.DAT
Its easy to set up, and simple to use.
Happy computing...TW
