The calls to the library for the basic menu operation is well documented in the example programs. Look at DOSMENU.C for the graphical interface menu and TEXTEXAM.C for the text mode example.
The shareware libraries are intended to be used with the Microsoft "C" or Visual "C++" compilers. They are compiled using the "LARGE" memory model. Your programs must use the large or huge model also. No other compilers are supported at this time.
The examples and libraries will require *.FON files. The supplied font file is required for the DOSEXAM.EXE example.
You must register to use the library in a program being distributed to others or for commercial programs. See REGISTER.DOC for more information.
