- Advanced Menu System V1.20 Go Software - ASP Members
- ============================= =========================
-
- To list the manual, issue the following command
-
- COPY AMS.LST LPT1
-
- You will obtain a better quality of listing if you first set your printer to
- IBM extended character set mode (the ■ character will appear instead of the
- ~ character, providing a slightly clearer manual), however this is not
- necessary. The listing will need approximately 1cm (½ Inch) of paper.
-
- Archive file format has now been changed to .Zip to ensure file fits on a
- single 360K floppy disk.
-
-
- ALL USERS - VERY VERY IMPORTANT
- ===============================
- The AMS parameter file, AMS.PRM, is Key-Coded in with the .INS install file.
- NEVER EDIT AMS.PRM WITH AN EDITOR!
- If you do, you will have to delete the .INS file, restore the original
- AMS.PRM file, and re-type your configuration using the AMS Menu
- Configuration options.
- KEEP THE ORIGINAL AMSMNU ARCHIVE FILE IN A SAFE PLACE - YOU WILL NEED IT IF
- AMS.PRM IS EDITED OR AMS.INS IS DELETED.
- The file AMS.BK! is an extra backup of AMS.PRM.
- If you wish to circulate the software, it is essential that the AMSMNU archive
- file is used.
- Unless the original files are passed on, THE SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE!
-
- IF YOU ARE UPGRADING AMS FROM A VERSION PRIOR TO VERSION 1.40 - you must use
- the new .PRM file, delete the .INS file, and re-enter your configuration.
-
-
- Netware Users - Very Important
- ==============================
- Lite Users - Ensure NET is available on a search path for all users.
- 386, 286, ELS Users - Ensure WhoAmI is available on a search path for all users.
-
-
- Temporary Access Key
- ====================
- Until the software is registered, the program will display a Shareware
- Registration screen when loaded, and will prompt users with the question
- "Would You Like To Order The Software" when they exit.
- To disable these slight inconveniences you may request a Temporary Key Number.
- There is no charge for the supply of the Key Number, and in no way does it
- commit you to purchasing the software after the trial period.
- To request the key at any time, use the AMS Key Request Option, in the AMS
- information menu. Fax the key request to Go Software, and we will normally
- return your key within one day.
- All companies requesting temporary key numbers, will also receive FREE
- TELEPHONE SUPPORT whenever required, for the trial period, though due to the
- cost of international calls, calls will not be made by us to countries outside
- the UK, unless you specifically ask us to call collect (reverse charge).
-
-
- Complementary Mice & Compact Disks On Registration
- ==================================================
- Registration entitles you to complementary classical Compact Disks. Any
- Multi-User registrations for 25 users or more, will also receive complementory
- mice.
-
- Early registrations receive additional compact disks, and, for 25-user+
- networks, and additional mouse.
-
- See help under Registration Gives You ... for more information.
-
-
- USERPATH.EXE
- ============
- This program, for use with Netware Lite Networks, is no longer included with
- the shareware version of AMS software, due to file size limitations (UserPath
- takes the zipped file size over a 360K disk size).
-
-
- Pricing, New Versions & Competition
- ===================================
- This is an early release of AMS which, although solving all of the problems
- associated with Novell's MENU, could still have more functionality.
- That functionality is on it's way! We have already decided on the major
- enhancements which will become available in the releases up to version 5.
-
- If you've taken a few months to get hold of this, it's probably already well
- out of date. Hence if you're looking for a bit more from a menu system, please
- bear this in mind, and fax us - what you're looking for may already be
- available, and don't worry, we will still respect your evaluation period.
- Alternatively, obtain the latest copy of the software from one of the
- Vendors listed in the section about AutoMan.
-
- This menu system IS Novell Menu System Compatible. Unlike other Novell menu
- systems, it does not involve conversion of menu files into proprietry formats,
- which although they may save you disk space, or give you other features, may
- cause you problems when the menu system falls over (While all users wait for
- a good menu file to be restored). If AMS falls over (nobody has complained yet,
- and we hope you won't need to either), you can always firstly correct a
- problem with a text editor, and secondly, return to Novell's Menu by simply
- pulling together all your menu files into a single file. What's more,
- unfortunately for us, it's possible somebody will come up with a better
- Novell MENU Compatible menu system than even AMS, and you might want to switch
- to it..... Though we doubt it!
- The multiple menu files capability allows you to allocate a whole range of
- menu options to individuals or groups, without having to specify the trustee
- list for each option - sure to save you a significant amount of time, and
- far less likely to become out of date or develop security risks.
-
- If this is the menu you want, but not at the right price, as we're up against
- some stiff competition, call us before you go elsewhere - we may be able to
- do you a nicer deal!
