- │ Turbo Menu 5.4 Update │
- │ October 1, 1992 │
- └─────────────────────────────────┘
-
- A few new features have been added to Turbo Menu that are not mentioned
- in the printed documentation.
-
-
- I Automatic menu rebulding from within Turbo Menu.
-
- Pressing Alt-F4 from the main menu invokes the Turbo Menu's automatic
- menu rebuilding feature. It is the same function that is preformed when
- Turbo Menu is installed, however, it can now be run repeatedly after
- Turbo Menu has been installed to update your menus. If you install new
- programs after Turbo Menu has been installed, you can update your menus
- by executing this function.
-
-
- II Graphics Screen Saving
-
- Turbo Menu now has a graphic screen saver in addition to the original
- scrolling text box. You can select your preference in the configuration
- section of Turbo Menu. The configuration menu is accessed by pressing
- Alt-F2 and the configuration edit screen is accessed by pressing F2 from
- the configuration menu. The last data field (located at the bottom of
- the screen) controls whether Turbo Menu uses the graphic screen saver or
- the text screen saver. Enter Y for the graphic saver and N for the text
- saver.
-
- The graphic screen saver consists of a series of multicolored lines that
- are drawn and erased. The length of these lines can be lengthed for a
- more dramatic effect by pressing the plus key (+). Pressing "R" returns
- the lines to their default length.
-
-
- III Installation of Updates
-
- If you are installing Turbo Menu onto a system that has a previous
- version of Turbo Menu installed, the installation program will save your
- preexisting menu system and will convert the old menus to the new system
- if you respond affirmatively to the appropriate prompt during
- installation.
-
-
- IV Multiple Password Protection
-
- Turbo Menu now has five levels of passwords:
- 1. Separate passwords to select or edit each menu item;
- 2. Separate passwords to edit each menu;
- 3. Single master password for all menus;
- 4. Single password for exit to DOS;
- 5. Single password to edit configuration.
-
-
- V New Log Detail Field
-
- Turbo Menu has a new field when editing a menu item:
-
- Prompt for log detail:
-
- If this field is set to "Y" the user will be prompted for a 30 character
- description of the task she is about to perform with the application
- being executed. The description is then placed in the log file for
- extra detail about what was being done at the time. This feature can be
- used for billing computer time or other purposes which require greater
- details concerning the task performed by the user.
-
-
- VI Report Program Improvements
-
- SREPORT.EXE now takes command line paramters for individual log
- files. For example, to create a report for a log file named JMV.DAT,
- enter the following command at the DOS prompt:
-
- SREPORT JMV
-
- A minor bug in report generator in version 5.3 was also resolved.
-
-
- VII Installation Bug Resolved
-
- Version 5.4 also corrects a minor bug that existed in the installation
- program of version 5.3. This bug only arose when SHARE.EXE had been
- previously executed by the user.
-
- There are no other additions or corrections.
