  What is PowerMenu Plus?
       PowerMenu is a menu driven DOS operating environment for
     your IBM-PC or compatible which provides easy access to any
     program on your computer.  Word processing, spreadsheets and
     all of your computer programs are just a keystroke away.
     PowerMenu is particularly suited for end users who would
     rather not worry about subdirectories, command line
     parameters, and command names.

LAST MINUTE ADDITIONS TO PowerMenu Plus 6.00
       Brown Bag Software has opted to include McAfee
     Associates's Virus Scan software instead of the AntiVirus
     program which appears in the documentation.  This decision
     was made because McAfee Associates has consistently been
     recognized as the leader in virus eradication software.  We
     apologize for any inconsistencies which you may find in the
     bound manual, but we feel that VirusScan is a superior
     product.
       In order to invoke the VirusScan software, select the
     AntiVirus option from the utilities menu.  You will then be
     presented with a list of drives which are available for
     scanning.  Using the arrows, move the cursor to the drive
     which you would like to scan.  Then hit the space bar to
     select the highlighted drive.  You will need to tell
     PowerMenu whether the selected drive is a network file
     server of a local disk drive.
       When you have completed selecting drives, hit the enter
     key to begin the scan.  If no viruses are found, you will be
     returned to the utilities menu.  If any viruses are found,
     it is strongly recommended that you follow this procedure:

          1.  Exit from PowerMenu Plus
          2.  Turn off your computer
          3.  Insert a DOS Boot Disk into drive A:
          4.  Turn on your computer
          5.  From the DOS prompt type the following
            [s]:\MENU\CLEAN [d]: [virus ID] /A

            Parameters:
              [s]         The drive where PowerMenu Plus is
              [d]         The drive which is infected
              [virus ID]  The virus ID found with SCAN.EXE

          6.  Take the DOS Boot Disk out of Drive A:
          7.  Restart your computer

       When a virus is found, PowerMenu will indicate exactly
     what you should type at the DOS prompt.  Therefor, you will
     not really need to worry about the list of parameters.

     eliminating the login screen for network users.
