- Product: EZ-MENU 6.0
-
- Description:
-
- After almost three years of development, Progressive Computer Services,
- Inc. is proud to announce the long-awaited update to their award-
- winning EZ-Menu software: Version 6.0. This newest release offers an
- array of powerful features not found in any other similar package.
- "The majority of 6.0's enhancements were the direct result of user-
- feedback." says Michael Perry, President and product author, "Users
- wanted even tighter security measures, more control & monitoring
- options, and more flexibility in custom-configuring the system. I believe
- this new release will exceed their expectations - we've actually emulated
- the type of security you would normally find in a network, and offered
- the power to users of single PCs."
-
- As the name implies, EZ-Menu "by day" is a mild-mannered (non-
- memory-resident) "menu system" but underneath the user-friendly exterior
- one finds an uncommon array of features and capabilities including:
-
- *Automated execution of programs - Any application on your PC can be
- set to execute at a user-defined frequency: daily, weekly, monthly,
- annually, an exact date, or every X minutes. A perfect tool to automate
- the process of running back-ups, diagnostics, virus scans and other
- maintenance utilities.
- * Usage tracking - EZ-Menu compiles information on computer activity,
- allowing the user to generate detailed or summary reports of exactly what
- program were run, at what time they started and how long they were in
- use. EZ-Menu even logs security breaches and is the only program of its
- kind to be able to identify if a user turned the PC off or rebooted in the
- middle of an application!
- * Advanced security features - Any single application, group of
- applications or access to DOS can be password-protected. Security levels
- can also be assigned to multiple users allowing different people to share a
- single PC yet have completely different menus and options.
- * Automatic installation & menu building - EZ-Menu can recognize
- thousands of popular applications in both DOS and Windows and will
- automatically create and categorize applications into a series of menus!
- EZ-Menu even encapsulates all the popular DOS commands & utilities
- into a series of menus.
- * Other features - The list is too comprehensive to outline in a press
- release, see the additional information enclosed or contact PCS.
-
- New features included in version 6.0 include: user-defined help boxes, a
- multiuser "login" ability where different settings & security can be
- assigned based on who logs into EZ-Menu (just like a network
- environment), password-protected configurable screen blanker/lock, menu
- sorting, direct LAN support, definable security levels for users & menu
- items, additional log reporting options including the ability to extract
- information on particular applications & events, and much more! EZ-
- Menu's retail price for version 6.0 is set at $69.96 with dealer prices
- unchanged; upgrade price for existing users: $24.95. EZ-Menu's
- packaging has also been totally re-designed for this new release.
-
- EZ-Menu runs under DOS or Windows (and other environments including
- OS/2) and is being positioned as the perfect PC front-end (to both
- DOS and Windows applications). Users can move from one application to
- another with a single keystroke and absolutely no performance or memory
- loss normally associated with menu systems & dos shells. Virtually every
- aspect of the system is configurable - making EZ-Menu the clear
- choice for standardization, monitoring & control of PCs in corporate
- environments, bundling with other applications & PCs to provide
- aftermarket support, or simply as a tool to make using the computer
- easier and more efficient for both novices and power users.
-
- "A majority of our users are running Windows and love how EZ-Menu
- manages Windows apps. Our product has never been an alternative to
- such an environment. Though Windows was touted as being the ultimate
- front end, most users are running both DOS and Windows applications
- and are somewhat disillusioned with the ease, control & security Windows
- offers - there is still a great need to provide a more consistent
- integration of all applications on your PC and EZ-Menu does just that and
- a whole lot more." says Perry, "Our product has evolved to the point
- where there is essentially no competition - there is no other package that
- I'm aware of that offers the features and capability of EZ-Menu. The
- honors, awards and endorsements we have received confirm this and
- thousands of corporate and government users are touting the value of EZ-
- Menu in addition to dealers who are finding that selling EZ-Menu with a
- PC dramatically reduces the amount of after-the-sale support they need
- to provide to their customers. Because of our company's relatively small
- size in comparison with other giants, EZ-Menu has been one of the
- best-kept secrets in the software business. We'd love nothing more than
- to share our "secret" with all PC users."
-
- Users can also expect to find an updated demo version of EZ-Menu 6.0
- under the filename: EZMENU38.ZIP on most major BBSes & information
- services.
