Small Menu
v1.0
What is Shareware???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shareware is software that you can get for free, like Small Menu, and
for a small charge set by the author you can get a Registered version, or
something like that. The author of the program might give you printed
manuals, updates, new features, more programs, or something like that if
you register. Remember though, the author probably put many hours into
his/her program and even though they may not be doing this for a living
you should register the program to give them a little incentive to show
them that people do like their software.
What is Small Menu???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Small Menu v1.0 is a menu program that will make it eaiser for you to
get into your programs. Let's say you have a program that in 3 sub-
directories under the root directory and you hate having to type
CD dir1, CD dir2, CD dir3 to get there and then type the name of the file.
Well with Small Menu you can just enter the where abouts of your program
just once and then you can just push one key and bam, you program is
running.
Creating a new data file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are a few different ways to edit the options of the program. First
you can delete the file SMALLMNU.DAT and create a new one when you run the
program. Second you can go in to Small Menu and pick the option to the
options editor. Third you can use a editor and load SMALLMNU.DAT into the
editor and edit it from there.
The Deleting Way:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Delete the SMALLMNU.DAT file.
2) Run the SMALLMNU.EXE file.
3) Enter your options. The first four questions ask for what you
want to come up on the menu for your menu options. The next
four ask four the path, and the name plus the extention of the
programs.
4) Type SMALLMNU.EXE to run the program and do what you want.
