"The SEE Utilities" are four handy FREEWARE programs that enable you to:
■ Provide people who get software from you with a way to view or print text
■ Set up fancy, nested menus in a batch file
■ Set up simple, one-line multiple-choice questions in a batch file
■ Control video text modes
Here are some of the things you can do with "The SEE Utilities"...
■ Set up a DOS shell with an UNLIMITED number of menus
■ Create an on-disk magazine
■ Document and integrate any programs you write
■ Send "disk letters" to friends
■ Design diskette-based catalogs
■ Write a branching adventure story
"The SEE Utilities" are ideal for:
■ Shareware, freeware and commercial software authors
■ Any computer user who wants to organize his hard disk
■ People who like DOS shells but need the flexibility of batch files
"The SEE Utilities" will:
■ Use color or monochrome mode, as appropriate
■ Detect if the user is in 25-, 43- or 50-line mode and adjust accordingly
■ Work with a mouse, if installed
And what does all this cost you? ZERO. Nothing. FREE!
(Please refer to the "Distribution" section before giving copies away)

To see how each utility works, enter START at the DOS prompt.
If you already did that, then you're already using GO-MENU and SEE:
■ GO-MENU is the menu you used to pick this article.
■ SEE is the program you're using right now to view this article.
After you've read through all the articles, you might find it helpful to
have a look at the batch file START.BAT to see how it works. To view it,
enter the following command at the DOS prompt:
SEE START.BAT

│ "WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?" Some people ask us why we have released these │

│ Well, we like money just as much as anybody else does. But we're try- │
│ ing something a little different with "The SEE Utilities". As you will │
│ see when you look at the file AMAZE.TXT, we would like people to get to │
│ know our larger products, such as our Sapphire BBS system. We figure │
│ that if people like these utilities, they'll LOVE our other programs! │
│ So we let people use "The SEE Utilities" for free, as long as they │
│ don't mind passing around our "advertising flyer" (AMAZE.TXT). │
