- Menudrv was first developed in Pascal around 1986 to permit users (not
- experts) to productively use a PC without having to know about DOS, where
- programs were physically located, etc. It allows an expert user to set up
- a hard disk system so that anyone can see at a glance what tools it has to
- offer-- and how to get to them --by simply pressing a key or two.
-
- The Pascal version of Menudrv was initially used by my department at
- McDonnell Douglas, students at Belleville Area College, and associates at
- Scott AFB. It has migrated to other Air Force and business locations from
- these, but has had no formal distribution (until now).
-
- In 1989, Bob Sutter, an avid Menudrv user at the Pentagon, Wash DC, sent me
- an updated version of the Pascal program with greatly enhanced alarm and
- reminder functions. He inquired about copyright and shareware
- possibilities, since we each had a considerable investment in the product.
- Because I have always considered the program public domain, I agreed that
- he could continue to enhance the Pascal version as shareware. But I would
- create a new version in C, which would continue to be available in the
- public domain.
-
- So here it is! Feel free to expand it and improve it. Please share your
- enhancements with the rest of us, however. That's half the fun!
