- SIMON'S MENU GENERATOR PROGRAM IS BASED ON SEVERAL OTHER PUBLIC DOMAIN DBASE
- PROGRAMS AS FOLLOWS:
-
- OPTMENU BY D.L. RANEY
- COLOR3P - AUTHOR UNKNOWN
- MENUGEN BY LUIS A. CASTRO
-
- SMG51 is a DBASE III PLUS menu generator. It will check to see if a color card
-
- or monochrome card is installed in your PC. If it finds a color card you will
-
- be presented with the option of installing color options for your menu.
-
-
- The next screen (or first screen if a mono card is installed) will ask for the
-
- name of the program to be generated. The current directory will be checked to
-
- make sure that the filename plus the extension of .PRG does not already exist.
-
- If it exists you will be asked if you want to overwrite the existing file or
-
- quit. If you choose overwrite,the data in the old file will be destroyed.
-
-
-
-
- You will then need to fill in your menu headings,type and items. If you
-
- select the Main Menu option, the code generated will exit to your system when
-
- the exit option is selected. If you do not select the Main Menu option the
-
- code generated will issue a return at the exit option which will take you
-
- back to the program that called the menu.
-
- ** DO NOT ENTER EXIT AS AN OPTION - IT WILL BE ADDED AUTOMATICALLY TO YOUR
-
- MENU AS THE LAST MENU ITEM. ***
-
-
- If you select to have an optional message you will be prompted to enter the
-
- text for the message to be displayed when the appropriate menu item is
-
- highlighted. You may enter up to 40 characters as a message. The Menu Item
-
- itself may be up to 30 characters.
-
-
- Next you will be asked for the program to run when the menu item is
-
- selected. This may be any allowable Dbase program or procedure. The "Do "
-
- command will automatically be added when the code is generated.
-
-
- You may enter up to 20 Menu Items. If you do not need 20 items then just
-
- enter a carriage return after you have entered all the necessary information
-
- for the Menu Items that you need in your program. The program will stop input
-
- when it reads the carriage return as a menu choice (or the max of 20 items
-
- whichever comes first).
-
-
- After a few seconds the code will be generated and you will be offered the
-
- option of running the program again or of ending the program.
-
-
- I hope that some of you may be able to use this program. You may leave
-
- messages for me on the Pee-Dee Exchange BBS in Florence,SC 803-393-7399
-
- up 24 hours a day.
