BATMENU version 1 DEMONSTRATION
Background:
There are dozens of peices of software that boast over their
ability to add MENUS to batch files, ie. Norton Utilities Advanced
Edition v4.5. None of these menus, however, "looked good" and
none of these menus were scrollable. In response to this industry
deficiency I created BATMENU.
BATMENU looks professional, is easy to set up, and even easier
to use.
Description:
BATMENU will provide a scroll menu interface to any batch
file.
******************************************************************
* *
* Note: *
* I developed another version of this program which allows the *
* user to control colors, types of menu (with border, without, *
* etc.), type of background. I decided to provide this version *
* to all those who register ONLY. This version is functional *
* but is intended for DEMONSTRATION only. *
* *
******************************************************************
OPERATION:
For Starters:
For BATMENU to do its job is must be invoked through a batchfile
using this format: (see EXAMPLE.BAT)
BATMENU <menu file> [DOS COMMAND]
$CONTROL
You must include the file $CONTROL in your batchfile. This is the
file that BATMENU creates that runs your menu option.
The MENU FILE
The menu file must use this EXACT format. (see the included file MENU.FIL)

BATMENU version 1 DEMONSTRATION
It is that easy.
An optional DOS command can be added at the command line. This
will be invoked AFTER your selected menu item is run.
Ordering and Registration
BATMENU is distributed under the Shareware concept. This
makes it available for anyone to try without any further
