Q U I K M E N U 4.2
COPYRIGHT (C) 1994 C. DERES
INSTRUCTIONS:
Copy all files from disk into your c:\ directory or whatever your root
directory is. Run QM 4.2 by typing MENU at Dos prompt. You may add
up to 26 different menu items by clicking on the ADD button and filling
in the appropriate information. You must press the TAB key to move
between fields.
LETTER : (A-Z)
ITEM NAME: ANY NAME YOU WANT
DIRECTORY: LOCATION OF YOUR PROGRAM OR APPLICATION
RUN FILE : FILE NAME THAT STARTS THE PROGRAM OR APPLICATION
EXAMPLE:
LETTER : B
ITEM NAME: GOLF
DIRECTORY: \GAMES\GOLF
RUN FILE : GOLF
TIP: If a .BAT file runs your application you can add the word CALL
in front of your program name:
EXAMPLE:
LETTER : B
ITEM NAME: GOLF
DIRECTORY: \GAMES\GOLF
RUN FILE : CALL GOLF
By adding the call command the menu can then be re-displayed
after you quit your application.
After you have created your menu option just save it by clicking on save
or pressing the enter key. If you made a mistake and your program does
not run just click on EDIT button. A box will appear with prompt for
a letter. You may either press the letter of item you want to edit or
click on that item button. If you would like to delete a menu item just
click on DEL button and press the letter you want to delete or click on
that letter button.
Screen Saver: The screen saver is set to ON by default. If you would
like to remove the screen saver just delete the -s command
on the 3rd line of "MENU.BAT". If you would like to put
it back on add the -s to the 3rd line (ie. qm -s). The
screen saver will come on after about a minute of no
activity. The screen saver will NOT come on unless your
are at the Main menu screen with no windows open.
Features of version 4.2:
- Graphical User Interface with pop up windows and push buttons
- a built in screen saver
- A "stats" feature for displaying CPU type, available disk space, and
conventional and extended memory
- Time and date window
- Ability to change color schemes (for those that register QM 4.2)
- A sound button for button press sounds (for those that register QM 4.2)
- Very "User Friendly"
Hot keys:
Alt-A : Add new item (use TAB key to move between fields)
Alt-S : Display Stats of your computer
Alt-T : Display date and time
Alt-D : Delete menu item
Alt-E : Edit menu item
Alt-P : Change color setup (Registered Versions Only)
Alt-H : Online Help
F1 : Online Help
ESC : Go to Dos prompt or close window
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU RUN "MENU.BAT" TO START QUIK MENU 4.2!
SUGGESTION: Add the command MENU to the last line of your
autoexec.bat file. Adding MENU to the last line
will automatically run QUIK MENU 4.2 when your
computer boots up.
QUIK MENU 4.2 CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING FILES:

By registering you will be sent some codes to remove the RED window
that prompts you to register. You will also be eligible for free
upgrades since the the same access codes are used in each version.
So if you have already registered just follow the same procedures
as in earlier releases.
If you do register QM 4.2 you will have the ability to choose from
5 different color schemes for the menu screen. There is also a
feature for selecting sound for the button presses. I will continue
to try to come up with new features so if you register please send
some ideas. Also please let me know what Online service you down-
loaded QM 4.2.
QUIK MENU 4.2 has been develped as SHAREWARE by Christopher P. Deres
QM 4.2 may be distributed freely as long as it stays in its original
zipped format.
DISCLAIMER: The author of Quik Menu 4.2 is not responsible for how
QM effects your computer. By using QM 4.2 the user takes
full responsibilty for any problems. To the best of my
knowledge QM will not cause any problems. If there are any
problems with the mouse it's because your mouse is not MS
compatible.
Thankyou,
Chris Deres
