KLICKSTART
A Simple PRG Menu
12/23/89
bugfix: 12/32/89
So ok. Ya tired of that old DB_MENU program yet?
Want something more akin to the common GEM dialogs
that you've become accustomed to?
Try DB's new menu program: DB KLICKSTART
Up to 24 programs AND custom titles in one lil file.
Split into 3 pages for easy viewing. Also provides
the file selector for picking other programs to run.
Use the file_selector to program any/all of the 24
slots. Enter a custom title for each one (or use the
filename as the default title).
Works in all three resolutions
Yep. That's right. Even though I received no response
what-so-ever on PRGMENU (aka DB_MENU) I'm back again
with this-un. It doesn't have the lil bells and whistles
that PRGMENU has. Only mouse_clicks; no keypresses. No
text-file reading. No command-line. No Reset-on-exit.
But DBKLICK needs no .MEN file. Everything is contained
within itself...
Requires a whopping 14990 bytes once loaded (ie less than
15k bytes). <1/1/90: v1.1 needs 16k>
Changes the default drive and path to that of the path\file
that you select.
Give 'er a shot, lemme know if I should start on YAMP.
And best of all, No Money Down. No payments until January.
Easy Financing... extended payments... instant rebate...
Double coupons... half-price...
Can you beat that?
Bye: Dr. Bob
12/31/89: When DBCLICK was placed in a folder, the file_selector's
path string would act irratically. This was do to the way
that I <the programmer> read the deafult path. It's well known,
but YET UNDOCUMENTED, that the gemdos functions are persnickety
on some small points... I found one of 'em here... the default
path... it's fixed now... (not gemdos, DBKLICK!)
A window is now used so you can keep your EASEL_ST desktop pic
on the DBKLICK screen... or you can choose to use a CLS instead.
Default is always "windowed" menu.
Bye: Dr. Bob
(happy new year too)
Ok, want some tips?
Alt-click on program title to edit title.
Alt-click on path (in Setup Dialog) to remove from menu.
Click on page header to use your own header (ie "* Main Menu *")
1/1/90: F_SEL sent proper message pointers (for future use).
