AUTOMENU (v4.5) by Magee Enterprises, Inc. REGISTRATION ($50.00)
With Automenu, you can create menus that access all of your frequently
used programs, and perform DOS commands with a single keystroke. You
no longer have to remember complex DOS commands, program and file
parameters, or batch file and subdirectory names, because Automenu
will do it ALL for you. You can even customize Automenu to perform
very complicated batch file procedures.
With Automenu, you create your own menu. This is made possible by
Magee Enterprises' proprietary Menu Definition Language (MDL)TM.
Using the MDL, you can create a Menu Definition File (MDF)TM, and
write your own individualized menus.
Automenu implements the essential features of a menu utility with a
number of useful PC software management features in one efficient
package. Automenu will reduce the time you spend navigating in DOS,
changing directories, calling up programs, and managing your system;
and Automenu will do it in ways that are easy to learn and easy to
customize for your own needs. Some of Automenu's key features are:
- Easy installation and operation on single user and local area
network systems
- FAST, single-keystroke execution of DOS commands, batch files and
programs

their application
