BESTMENU
THE FIRST SERIOUS MENU SYSTEM
By
Wild West Software
* What is BestMenu ?
BestMenu is a menu system, and like most of its competitors its
goal is to provide an interface between the computer and its
users -"Hit a key to run a program". The major difference that
places BestMenu high above the competition is the professional
and simple ways by which you can design, build, and present your
customized menu system.
Conceived by non-programming computer executives and micro
managers, BestMenu is intuitive and elegant, making you feel as
if you have been using it since day one. The actual design and
coding were done by professional programmers assuring high
performance and dependability of the program. Combining the best
of both worlds, BestMenu is a menu system that must be taken
seriuosly.
* It Shows a Clearer Picture....
BestMenu uses advanced self-centering windows to present the
menus on the screen. Simple layout, uncluttered screens, and
strategic warning messages make BestMenu pleasant to work with.
Menu choices may be made simply and quickly, since only the menu
selections you need are presented on screen.
* Six Windows and Menu Levels....
Up to six levels can be used with BestMenu, totaling over one
million possible selections. Multi-leveling makes it possible to
organize your tasks into categories and subcategories.
Multi-Level menuing makes selecting through menus simpler than
ever before.
* Serious Friendliness....
Our serious approach to menu systems is both versatile and
friendly, whether you are creating a menu system or editing an
existing menu. Each menu Window on the screen is built
separately. When finished, windows will be connected to form
your menu interface.
BestMenu uses standard DOS commands to execute ALL operating
system commands and batch file statements. If you know how to
write a batch file, you are already a sophisticated BestMenu
user. If not, the users manual will make you an expert in no
time at all. The commands are saved under menu files, one per
line, and executed in sequence by BestMenu.
* The MenuMaker....
The MenuMaker is the utility program included with BestMenu.
MenuMaker allows you to build a menu from scratch or edit an
existing one, while seeing on screen what your menu will look
like when used by BestMenu. Make one change and the entire Menu
Window is adjusted automatically. Changing the screen layout,
the selections and associated commands is effortless and can be
done in a matter of seconds.
That is not all. MenuMaker has a built-in editor, featuring
standard word processing commands and full window editing. With
MenuMaker you can choose from a variety of background and
foreground colors when designing your menu windows. Other
BestMenu functions set through MenuMaker include audio feedback,
error handling, mouse support and clock time setting.
The MenuMaker turns the serious, and sometimes difficult design
stage into pure fun. The fantastic results will impress even the
most performance demanding micro managers.
* BestMenu Works With a Mouse Too....
BestMenu can be operated with any Mouse on the market, just
install your mouse, tell BestMenu about it and click your way
through your menu system.
* The World Time Clock....
As an extra touch, BestMenu will transform your screen into an
analog World Time Clock. The times in four different cities
around the world are displayed in addition to the local time.
The clock will pop up after you leave your keyboard unattended
for a few minutes. The exact time lapse can be set by you. Our
clock brings life and purpose to computers momentarily not being
used. The Clock can be turned off and in this case your screen
will automatically be blanked.
* The Wizard Of DOS....
Our user's manual actually comes in two volumes. The first is a
quick but detailed explanation of all BestMenu features and
utility programs, including a 25 page tutorial. Volume Two is a
rich and intensive guide to the MS DOS operating system and hard
disk organization. We believe it will do wonders for you. We
call it - THE WIZARD OF DOS. This set of books contains valuable
information, and goes far beyond telling how to use the BestMenu
programs.
* And More....
There is much more to BestMenu. A Disk Swapping Utility,
Parallel port reassignment and System Boot Utility, are only a
few of the many things that you get with BestMenu.
* System Requirements....
BestMenu will run on all IBM PC, XT, AT and true compatible
computers using PC-DOS or MS-DOS 2.0 and above. It is
recommended that at least one hard disk and 256K RAM of memory be
present for best program performance. BestMenu is not memory
resident and takes only 33K of RAM.
* Only Thirty Five Dollars....
As an introductory offer, you will get BestMenu, the MenuMaker,
the World Time Clock, the Disk Swapping Utility, The User's
Guide, The Wizard of DOS Book, and other utilities for only US$
35.00 plus US$ 3.00 for shipping. Individual copies of "The
Wizard of DOS" can be purchased for US$ 15.00 per copy.
