- THE FIRST SERIOUS MENU SYSTEM
-

-
-
- * What is BestMenu?
-
- BestMenu is a menu system, and like most of its competitors its
- goal is to provide an interface between the computer and its
- users - "Hit a key to run a program". What places BestMenu high
- above the competition are the professional and simple ways by
- which you can design, build, and present your customized menu
- system.
-
- Conceived by non-programming computer executives and micro
- managers, BestMenu is intuitive and elegant, making you feel as
- if you have been using it since day one. The actual design and
- coding were done by professional programmers, assuring high
- performance and dependability of the program. Combining the best
- of both worlds, BestMenu is a menu system that must be taken
- seriously.
-
-
- * It Shows a Clearer Picture....
-
- BestMenu uses advanced self-centering windows to present the
- menus on the screen. Simple layout, uncluttered screens, and
- strategic warning messages make BestMenu pleasant to work with.
- Menu choices may be made simply and quickly, since only the menu
- selections you need are presented on screen.
-
-
- * Six Windows and Menu Levels....
-
- Up to six levels can be used with BestMenu, totaling over one
- million possible selections. Multi-leveling makes it possible to
- organize your tasks into categories and subcategories.
- Multi-Level menuing makes selecting through menus simpler than
- ever before.
-
-
- * Serious Friendliness....
-
- Our serious approach to menu systems is both versatile and
- friendly, whether you are creating a menu system or editing an
- existing menu. Each menu Window on the screen is built
- separately. When finished, windows will be connected to form
- your menu interface.
-
- BestMenu uses standard DOS commands to execute ALL operating
- system commands and batch file statements. If you know how to
- write a batch file, you are already a sophisticated BestMenu
- user. If not, the users manual will make you an expert in no
- time at all. The commands are saved under menu files, one per
- line, and executed in sequence by BestMenu.
-
-
- * The MenuMaker....
-
- The MenuMaker is the utility program included with BestMenu.
- MenuMaker allows you to build a menu from scratch or edit an
- existing one, while seeing on screen what your menu will look
- like when used by BestMenu. Make one change and the entire Menu
- Window is adjusted automatically. Changing the screen layout,
- the selections, and associated commands is effortless and can be
- done in a matter of seconds.
-
- That is not all. MenuMaker has a built-in editor, featuring
- standard word processing commands and full window editing. With
- MenuMaker you can choose from a variety of background and
- foreground colors when designing your menu windows. Other
- BestMenu functions set through MenuMaker include audio feedback,
- error handling, mouse support and clock time setting.
-
- The MenuMaker turns the serious, and sometimes difficult design
- stage into pure fun. The fantastic results will impress even the
- most performance demanding micro managers.
-
-
- * BestMenu Works With a Mouse Too....
-
- BestMenu can be operated with any Mouse on the market, just
- install your mouse, tell BestMenu about it and click your way
- through your menu system.
-
-
- * The World Time Clock....
-
- As an extra touch, BestMenu will transform your screen into an
- analog World Time Clock. The times in four different cities
- around the world are displayed in addition to the local time.
- The clock will pop up after you leave your keyboard unattended
- for a few minutes. The exact time lapse can be set by you. Our
- clock brings life and purpose to computers momentarily not being
- used. The Clock may be turned off, and in this case your
- screen will automatically be blanked.
-
-
- * The User's Manual....
-
- Our user's manual contains a detailed explanation of all
- BestMenu features and utility programs, including a 25 page
- tutorial.
-
-
- * Password Protection....
-
- BestMenu gives you the ability to control access to menus and
- programs through the use of passwords. You can set who-runs-what
- in your hard disk system and protect sensitive or private data.
- The password feature is not memory resident and will never lock
- the system as some of the fancier password programs do.
-
-
- * And More....
-
- There is much more to BestMenu. A Disk Swapping Utility,
- Parallel port reassignment and System Boot Utility, are only a
- few of the many things you get with BestMenu.
-
-
- * System Requirements....
-
- BestMenu will run on all IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 and true compatible
- computers using PC-DOS or MS-DOS 2.0 and above. It is
- recommended that at least one hard disk and 256K RAM of memory be
- present for best program performance. BestMenu is not memory
- resident and takes only 33K of RAM.
-
-
- * Less Than Thirty Dollars....
-
- As an introductory offer, you will get BestMenu, the MenuMaker,
- the World Time Clock, the Disk Swapping Utility, The User's
- Guide, and other utilities for only US$ 29.95 plus US$ 5.00 for
