- ShareWare Information
- ---------------------
-
- This program has been released into the vast domain of
- ShareWare software. The author grants the right to use and
- distribute the code, as long as all documentation and executable
- files are distributed unmodified. A recommended BBS description
- follows:
-
- SELECT.ZIP Select from multiple AUTOEXEC.BAT files on boot-up
-
- I don't doesn't expect a donation if you use this software, but
- would be interested in hearing from you anyway.
-
- The Purpose of Selector
- -----------------------
-
- The purpose of Selector is to allow the user to run different
- autoexec files each time the machine boots. Selector can be used
- to allow one machine to run be on a network, set up a developing
- environment with several TSRs, or just simply boot DOS; without
- having to change your autoexec.bat each time.
-
- Setting Up Selector
- -------------------
- Setting up Selector is easy. Simply run the program from
- your autoexec file. You can have several commands which always
- run, then run Selector to choose which additional commands you
- need. For example:
-
- @echo off
- path c:\dos;c:\
- prompt $p$g
- selector
- ver
-
- Would set the path and prompt, and then run Selector. Once
- Selector finishes, the program returns to the batch file and
- shows the current DOS version. Then set up a batch file in your
- root directory for each of the six options on Selector, naming
- them STARTUPn.BAT where n is a number from 1 to 6.
-
- Once Selector is Setup
- ----------------------
- Once you setup Selector, you are all ready to go. Each time
- your machine boots, the Selector menu will come up and allow you
- to choose which option you desire by pressing the corresponding
- number (between 1 to 6). If you haven't chosen an option within
- ten seconds, the default option (option 1) is automatically
- selected.
-
-
- Registering Selector
- --------------------
- There is a registered version of Selector currently
- available. The registered version allows you to modify the
- options on the menu, the batch file each option runs, the time
- delay, the default option, as well as other options. If you wish
- to register your version of Selector, please send a check or
- money order for $10 (U.S. currency only) to:
