"a demo of the DRMenu system"

DRMENU provides a set of special files to use as a DEMO so
that you can see exactly what to expect BEFORE you install
DRMENU on your system.
Here's how to run the DEMO. It's easy. You must use DOS 3.3
or higher for the DEMO, although the "real" DRMenu system will
run in ANY version of DOS you have...from 2.1 to 7.0 and up.
Copy all the files which begin with the seven letters
"DRMDEMO" onto a floppy disk - let's say... onto drive A:
You can do this easily since the files all have the same first
seven letters. Simply use the DOS COPY command.
Example: COPY DRMDEMO*.* A:
or this way
Example: COPY DRMDEMO?.* A:
...either way, all you will be doing is copying files onto A:
Here are the names you will need - notice the first 7 letters.
filename what it does in the demo
------------ ---------------------------------------------------
DRMDEMO.DAT defines the menus, aka the DATA file
DRMDEMO.BAT the file to RUN, a batch file
DRMDEMO1.BAT\
DRMDEMO2.BAT \
DRMDEMO3.BAT \ 6 "fake" batch files used in above DATA file
DRMDEMO4.BAT / ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DRMDEMO5.BAT /
DRMDEMO6.BAT/
There is one more file you will need to use, not only for the
DEMO session, but also for "real" when you finally use DRMENU
on your harddrive. The DRM30eng.EXE file is the ENGINE that
the DRMENU system uses. You need to keep that one after the
DEMO is over, but you can erase the other "DRMDEMO*.*" files.
So, copy the engine, DRM30eng.EXE, over to the floppy disk
be with the others. After you run the DRMDEMO.BAT file, be sure
not to erase the DRM30eng.EXE file. It's the ENGINE, so you
need it. Its name has "ENG" and version "30" in it.

Don't be scared of the descriptions in the DEMO menus, because
they won't work, obviously.
In other words, DRMENU can't run Lotus 1-2-3 if there is NO
Lotus 1-2-3. It's all show and glitter just to give you an idea!
Just to be on the safe side, take a look at them just in case
some "sick" person has changed them. If you can write a batch
file, you should be able to tell if they are hareless or not.
I'm just TRYING to help you be careful! So be careful!

I cannot be help responsible for what others may do to my
batch files. Use this DEMO at your own risk. I hate having
to say this, but it's a weird world out there....so, please be
careful. People who write Viruses and other destructive
programs should be locked up and the keys thrown away.
The above Editorial is for free.
One last thing. Remember that DRMENU is FREEWARE. If you do
decide to use it, and if you like it, you won't owe anybody!!
