MENU MASTER 2.10 UPGRADE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If you are upgrading to Menu Master 2.10 from an earlier version,
this information will be helpful...
TO UPGRADE
----------
Simply copy the file MMPRG.EXE to your hard disk sub-directory,
replacing the older version. Be sure that MENU.BAT also resides on
the same sub-directory.
MENU SETTINGS
-------------
Version 2.10 writes its settings in a new format to a file named
MMSTR.STG. The older versions wrote to a file named MENU.STG. If
you wish to preserve your old settings, don't delete the MENU.STG
file until you run Version 2.10 at least once. Version 2.10 will
read your old MENU.STG file and will save the settings in the new
format under MMSTR.STG. After displaying Version 2.10's menu one
time, your old MENU.STG file is no longer used or needed and may be
deleted.
KEEPING IT SIMPLE
-----------------
The widespread acceptance of Menu Master is due largely to its
simplicity. Most people like it because it is VERY easy for
inexperienced users to handle and it's quick and easy for experts
as well. Many registered users have sent in suggestions for
improvements or new features and many of these ideas have been
included in Version 2.10. However, every effort has been made to
keep it simple, as you will readily see.
NEW FEATURES OF VERSION 2.10
----------------------------
Here is a partial list of the improvements and new features:
- Up to 24 Menu Items per menu. (previously 12)
- Up to 7 Command Lines per Menu Item. (previously 2)
- Display up to 3 lines of customized On-Screen Notes. This
feature is a good way to provide special instructions for
persons using your system.
- Improved method of changing Menu Display Colors. Each Menu
Prompt can now have its own color.
- System Password can Protect: 1 - Escaping to DOS
2 - Modifying Menu Settings
3 - Changing Screen Colors
4 - Editing On-Screen Notes
- Individual Password Protection of Menu Selections.
- Optional turn-off of the Date/Time display.
- Option to TOTALLY blank the screen after 3 minutes of inactivity
to protect your screen.
- Menu can reside on ANY sub-directory - not just the root
directory.
- Faster menu display.
- Easier than ever before to set up multiple menus.
I hope you like this new version. As always, your comments and
suggestions are appreciated.
