- Exemenu
- version 2.2
- 1991 J.C. Kessels
-
-
-
- EXEMENU will display a menu with all the programs in a directory. You
- select one with the cursor or character keys, and press Enter.....the
- program is started. When you quit the program, you automatically return
- to the EXEMENU.
-
- EXEMENU is designed to be used by the non-tech user. Power users have
- Norton-Commander, PC-tools, and many more. But I have frequently found
- those packages to be too complicated for the majority of the PC users!
- Therefore EXEMENU has:
-
- - No documentation (well, almost). Run and use!
- - No settings.
- - No function keys.
- - No mouse.
- - No pull-down or pop-up menu's.
- - Easy screen layout.
- - Zero installation: it will run anywhere.
-
- EXEMENU recognises EXE, COM, BAT and BAS programs. You only see programs
- that can be started (lowercase), and subdirectories (uppercase). Nothing
- else. BAS programs (Basic) will only be visible and can only be started
- if the basic interpreter is found in the path when EXEMENU is started:
- GWBASIC.EXE, GWBASIC.COM, BASIC.EXE, BASIC.COM, BASICA.EXE, or
- BASICA.COM.
-
- You can optionally specify a path with EXEMENU:
-
- EXEMENU [path]
-
- This will cause EXEMENU to startup with that path. If you don't specify
- a path, then EXEMENU will startup with the current directory.
-
- If you switch floppies (new floppy in the drive) while EXEMENU is
- active, then press "ENTER" anywhere and the new floppy will be loaded.
-
-
-
-
-
- Remarks:
-
- Don't worry if you don't see COMMAND.COM, AUTOEXEC.BAT or EXEMENU.EXE,
- they will never be shown.
-
- EXEMENU has been tested on simple XT computers up to 386 systems, with
- DOS versions 3.2, 3.3, and 4.0, with Hercules, CGA, EGA and VGA.
-
- EXEMENU should work well with just about any video hardware. There is
- one exception: if the screen is set to a different width than 80
- characters, then you MAY get a warped screen. Some video modes will
- cause EXEMENU to reset the screen to 80x25 characters. You may see some
- "snow" on the screen, especially with older video hardware.

-
-
- This is freeware. No guarantees whatsoever. You may change it, use it,
- copy it, anything you like.
-
- Please do NOT send any money to the below mentioned address. I don't
- want tax problems. You can use this program absolutely free. I have
- written this program in Borland's Turbo-Pascal v5.5, but it should also
- compile with v4.0 and v5.0. The source is included for the hackers, and
- for virus protection.
