MENU MASTER
by Michael Allen
I created Menu Master after I found a need to have something
to control my "Various Games" disks. I got tired of trying to
setup creative desktops or having to search through folders and
windows for games. Menu Master solves these problems by giving
these various games disks a menu to choose your game from. You
only have to set it up once and your information will be saved to
disk. You can even have a different Low and Medium Menu saved to
the same disk. Auto-booting can be accomplished through Rainbow
TOS or through StartGem.
To use the program simply double-click on MENU.PRG or use the
auto-boot method of your choice. The program will check
(dependent on resolution) for the proper data file, MENU.LOW or
MENU.MED, and load in the menu data. If it is not present (to
start a new menu) it will let you know it couldn't find it and ask
you if you wish to create one. Answer "YES" and you will be
prompted to enter a title for your menu (ie. VARIOUS GAMES).
After that is completed you will see a File Selector box appear.
Simply locate your program through normal search methods (UIS III
is great!) and click on the program. Double check the path line
to make sure it is correct and click on OK or press return. The
program name and path will appear on the screen and the file
selector box will reappear. This continues until you have filled
the menu or you press CANCEL (Cancel means you have no more
programs to add). At this point your data is saved to disk and
your new menu is displayed.
This menu does not work on all programs unfortunately but it
works on most games. Some games don't have a quit featue so
getting back to the menu means rebooting. That's the breaks I
guess! Also if you want to change your menu, just erase the data
file a re-run the program.
This program is Shareware, if you like it and it helps you
out please send $5.00 to Michael Allen
