SPARKLE & MENU MAGIC 3.5, *Many* options to enhance batch files
DOS SEP94 UTIL SOND BATCH MENUS SOUND BAR MENUS
FILES: Sparkl35
Author: Pro~Formance // Rob W. Smetana
Registration: See ".Doc" file
Are you tired of slow, ordinary batch files? Add SPARKLE and get
scrolling bar menus (with mouse support), sound effects (35+) and
much, much more. MENU MAGIC will even create your scrolling bar
menus and write your batch files for you! SPARKLE_2 (available
separately) offers more options. Registered users receive **all
three** programs: Sparkle, Menu Magic & Sparkle_2.
SPARKLE offer 9 terrific options to enhance your batch files. You
select options by number -- it couldn't be easier. For example:
sparkle 1 ... gives you SOUND EFFECTS
sparkle 2 ... turns screens into SCROLLING BAR menus
sparkle 6 ... draws colorful WINDOWS on the screen
The "..." means you also send Sparkle instructions (e.g., which
of 35 different sound effects you'd like).
Sparkle is so flexible and easy to use, that companies like
Franklin-Templeton Funds and Digital Equipment Corp. use Sparkle
company-wide. In fact, on some networks, all the users ever see
are Sparkle-driven menus and the programs they run.
* MENUS: Sparkle gives you 3 different types of menus.
- Vertical -or- horizontal SCROLLING BAR MENU options let you
turn almost ANY text screen into a "point and shoot" menu --
complete with mouse support!
- Or turn ANY text -or- graphics screen into a menu.
* SOUND EFFECTS: Liven up batch files with over 35, attention-
getting sounds. With Sparkle's "ringing phone" sound, you'll
even have people reaching for the phone.
* BIG! Font: Display messages 8-lines high, anywhere, in any color.
* WINDOWS: 250 colorful styles, shadowed or not, exploding or not.
* QUICK PRINT: Print text anywhere on the screen in any color.
* PAUSE: Pause from 1/3 second to several minutes. You
may also let users press a key to bypass the pause.
* MONITOR: Determine what type of monitor is being used. This help
useful to know whether you can safely display graphics images,
or which colors to use.
MENU MAGIC is a "fill-in-the-blanks" menu designer that:
* Writes your batch files for you!
* Can save your scrolling bar menu as an executable screen.
Just "run" your colorful screen and it blasts up instantly.
(If you prefer, Menu Magic will write your batch file and use
Sparkle's Window and Quick Print options to draw your menu).
ALSO AVAILABLE: Many Sparkle users also use our P-SCREEB screen
design system. P-Screen includes over 20 Big! Fonts (tm), plus
dozens of options, to help them design incredible, attention-getting
screens and menus.
Requirements: IBM PC or compatible, DOS 2.1 or higher.
