Announcing AUTOMENU 5.0 and an Unprecedented Upgrade/Amnesty Program 

10 Year Old DOS Utility is Still Going Strong

June 29, 1993 -- Magee announces the addition of several new features to
Automenu, its popular best seller, making it easier to use and maintain
than previous versions.

Automenu Version 5.0, now available, sports an updated look with menus
arranged in easy to understand overlapping windows. A single keystroke or
mouse click quickly starts any application, invokes a DOS batch file or
network connection, or launches Windows.

Users however, may retain the option to display menus in the comfortable
list form from previous Automenu versions, while still taking advantage of
other enhancements.

The setup and maintenance of Automenu has been significantly improved.
Version 5.0 allows more than 60 items per menu page, and multiple menu
definition files (MDFs) may now reside on the same screen offering
increased flexibility and customization options.

A new software detection module in the Automenu Install program will locate
installed software and create a menu item for each program automatically.
And Automenu 5.0's Automake menu editor has been rewritten and simplified.
It now allows cutting and pasting of items between menu pages and Menu
Definition Files.

Automenu 5.0 users may define certain Hotkeys or Events to be available at
all times. Events may be initiated by date or time, or tied to keyboard
inactivity. This allows third-party screen savers to be automatically
invoked, or such Events as auto-logout from networks to take place after a
specified length of inactivity. In version 5.0, Hotkey access is valid for
any displayed menu item regardless of its MDF origin or page location.

Automenu 5.0 also captures and reports statistics of program usage by
creating a log containing information about when a menu item was selected,
and the length of time before the user exited the selected application and
returned to Automenu.

Although previously touted for its efficient memory usage, Automenu 5.0
offers even greater efficiency. When EMS/XMS is utilized, Automenu 5.0
requires as little as 208 bytes to operate in resident mode, and OKB in
non-resident mode.

Like previous versions, Automenu 5.0 includes multi-level password
protection and other security features including optional DOS command
access.

Automenu 5.0 retails for $69.95 and is available from most computer and
software dealers, or from Magee Direct. Registered users may purchase the
Automenu 5.0 upgrade from most software resellers, or by contacting Magee
directly.

In an unprecedented move, Magee is allowing users of unregistered shareware
copies of Automenu to purchase the Automenu 5.0 upgrade in a one-time,
limited-time amnesty program. The Automenu 5.0 upgrade/amnesty package is
available from most leading software retailers for a suggested retail
price of $24.95.

Acceptable proofs of usage include a program diskette with a valid serial
number, a photocopy of the front page of the Automenu user manual, or a
full or partial print-out of the shareware version documentation file.

With this liberal upgrade program, Magee hopes to locate some of the
thousands of Automenu users who have never registered their copies.
Automenu is one of the first and most successful DOS utilities ever
released. Originally introduced in 1983 as shareware, and later into
commercial distribution in 1986, Magee is celebrating the tenth
anniversary of Automenu this year. Independent surveys have indicated a
worldwide installed base exceeding 1.5 million copies to date. It is
available in English, French, and German languages.

Magee Enterprises, Inc. also develops and markets Network H.Q., a leading
network inventory utility for workstations on Novell, Banyan, and other
network systems. Other divisions and services offered by Magee include
PakStar, a software duplication, packaging. and production service, and
Magee Network Services which provides remote management of small and
medium size LANs and WANs for businesses in the Atlanta area.
