NETMENU is an easy to use, network menu program.  It is designed to run on
any IBM PC or compatible computer running MS-DOS or PCDOS 3.x or higher and
works with most PC based network systems.


Features

Designed specifically for network use.
    NETMENU has the required file locking and multiple access to menu files
built in to the program. There is no need to worry about being locked out of a
menu file because someone else has it open.

Flexible configuration.
    NETMENU has been designed so that menu files may be located anywhere on the
network.  This flexibility allows different sets of menu files to be accessed by
different groups of users.

Minimal memory requirements.
    When programs are executed from NETMENU, a 5K loader program is all that is
left in memory. This allows even the largest programs to be loaded from NETMENU.

Unlimited number of menus.
    Each menu has 26 menu items lettered A-Z.  Each menu item may either invoke
an external .COM, .EXE. or .BAT file, an internal DOS command, or load another
menu.  This design allows an unlimited number of menus (limited only by disk
space).

Password protected menus and menu items.
    Each menu and/or menu item may be protected by a password the network
administrator defines. This will prevent unauthorized access to programs and
files that should only be available to certain users or groups.

Encrypted menus for security.
    Each menu is encrypted to prevent users from learning the passwords to
protected programs or menus.

Separate configuration program for security.
    A separate configuration program (NMCONFIG) is supplied to prevent access by
unauthorized users. The network administrator normally keeps this program in a
directory that only he has access to.

Built-in screen blanker.
    To prevent the image of the menu being burned into the screen during long
idle periods, NETMENU has been designed with a built-in screen blanker.

Built-in clock display.
    NETMENU has an on-screen clock which is displayed in the upper right corner
of the screen.  In addition, the heading of the screen displays the current day
of the week and date.

Mouse support.
    Menu items may be selected by pointing to them with a mouse and double
clicking the left mouse button.  To back through the menus, press the right
mouse button.

Customized menu heading.
    Two fifty (50) character lines of text may be defined during installation
for display at the top of the menu.  You can enter your organization's name and
the name of your network here or any other text you wish.

Prompts the user for parameters.
    Menu entries may be configured to prompt for user supplied parameters to
pass to the program that is to be run.

Description of each menu item.
    As the user moves through each menu item a one line description of each item
is displayed at the bottom of the menu.  This description can give the user a
better indication of the function of each menu item.
