ToyCHEST I is a complete and very user friendly Graphics User
Interface (GUI) or Menuing system that runs in 256 color VGA mode.
It provides the user with colorful picture icons for selecting sub
menus or executing applications or DOS commands. Allows creating up
to 20 menus or applications on each Menu Page. Sub menus may be nested
four levels deep. With this configuration, you could access
up to 160,000 menu selections.
ToyCHEST I provides the user with the ability to set screen and
font colors to a possible of over 30 color combinations. Includes a
full featured Icon editor with options for creating or painting 256
color picture icons.
Also included is an Icon conversion utility that will convert WINDOWS
(.ICO) or Design SHELL (.ICN) icons over to the ToyCHEST I format.
All options can be fully password protected against entry.
