- DESCRIPTION
-
- IconDOS is a graphical application launcher for DOS that is similiar to
- Windows's Program Manager, complete with icons and wallpaper. IconDOS
- is practical and efficient. Zero (0) resident memory is required so
- launched applications are guaranteed to work the same as if run directly
- from DOS. Multi-page icon menus and sub-menus provide virtually
- unlimited menu size. Other features include a built-in clock, calendar,
- screen saver, over 100 pre-drawn icons, 20 different wallpapers and a
- graphical editor for producing custom icons and wallpaper. VGA graphics
- is required. A mouse is required for setup and editing. Following
- setup, IconDOS operates equally well using either keyboard or mouse.
-
- IconDOS is being marketed as shareware. Registered users ($25 fee)
- receive an additional 200 "best of Windows" icons, additional wallpaper
- and a utility to display 16 color .PCX graphics files and capture icons
- from the screen. This utility provides an indirect but workable path
- for converting Windows icons to IconDOS.
