INSTANT ACCESS by Prodigy Technologies REGISTRATION ($25.00)
Release v2.65 is both a maintenance release and an upgrade.
Instant Access Menu System (IAMS) allows you to organize your software
in a centralized fashion. From there you can order which software
you'd like to run much like ordering what you wish to eat from a
restaurants menu.
IAMS was designed to get the most out of computer programs with the
least amount of work, hassle and wasted time. IAMS is both an
organizer and a productivity tool. Quick and easy access to any
program on your hard disk. Once set up, you no longer have to deal
with DOS and can run programs by using only two key strokes.
Some of the highlights of this menu system is it will allow
installation of upto 400 DOS programs. Internal DOS commands can be
run. Run programs in "AutoBoot" mode. Initial installation of IAMS is
done easily via menu driven configuration system. Complete drive,
directory and file name validation during configuration. User
definable colors. Automatic screen blanking utility. Usage log for
program (time) tracking. Online Help. PopUp notepad. Full function
editor that will be familiar to WordStar, Sidekick or any of the
Borland programming environment users. Day and time automatic program
run capability.
Many enhancements have been made in this latest version. Some of these
are:
o AutoBoot: IAMS can now be run in Normal or AutoBoot mode.
AutoBoot mode will automatically restart any program that did
not return to the menu. For example if you were in the middle
of a program and you were interrupted by a power outage, it
would automatically be restarted within 10 seconds after the
power is restored and your computer back up.
o Save Message: If you've made a change in any area with the
configuration system. did not save it and attempted to exit,
you will now be prompted for confirmation.
o Banner Message: Users may now enter their own 43 character
message to insert in the Banner.
Hardware requirements: IAMS was designed for use on any IBM PC/XT/AT, PS/2,
or any fully compatible machine. It requires 172K worth of RAM to load,
but less than 4K to run programs.
Although Instant Access could be run off a floppy drive, you would not
realize the true benefits it provides. Thus, a Hard Disk is recommended.
DOS 2.0 or greater is required.
