                 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
seriuosly.



* 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 Wizard Of DOS....

Our user's manual actually comes in two volumes.  The first is  a
quick  but  detailed  explanation  of  all  BestMenu features and
utility programs, including a 25 page tutorial.  Volume Two is  a
rich  and intensive guide to the MS DOS operating system and hard
disk organization.  We believe it will do wonders  for  you.   We
call it - THE WIZARD OF DOS.  This set of books contains valuable
information, and goes far beyond telling how to use the  BestMenu
programs.



* Password Protection....

BestMenu comes with PASSWORD.EXE, a password utility program that
allows  you  to  set  who-runs-what  in  your  hard  disk  system.
PASSWORD is not memory resident and will never lock the system as
some  of the fancier password programs do.  PASSWORD is extremely
easy to use.



* 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....

the  World  Time  Clock,  the  Disk  Swapping Utility, The User's
Guide, The Wizard of DOS  Book,  and  other  utilities  for  only
