SUGGESTED SHORT DESCRIPTION
---------------------------

     ToyBox II:  A Graphical Menu System for Kids of All Ages


SUGGESTED MEDIUM DESCRIPTION
----------------------------

     ToyBox II - a new graphical DOS menu system designed with 
kids in mind.  Powerful, but so simple, even young children can 
use it to start their own programs without assistance.  Large 3-D 
buttons with colorful Windows-compatible icons represent your 
programs.  Superb EGA/VGA graphics.  Mouse optional.   


SUGGESTED LONG DESCRIPTION
--------------------------

    Finally a graphical interface designed with kids in mind. 
ToyBox II is a new graphical DOS menuing system with the powerful 
features adults need, but so simple, even young children can use 
it to start their own programs without assistance.  ToyBox II 
displays large 3-D buttons with colorful, Microsoft Windows- 
compatible icons to represent your DOS and Windows programs.  So 
instead of trying to remember cryptic DOS commands, you or your 
child can press a single key or click a mouse button to start any 
program.  To make things easier for small hands, all mouse buttons 
have the same effect and no double-clicks are required.  You can 
also set options that prevent inquisitive young power users from 
leaving ToyBox II or accessing any areas you don't want them to 
get into.
     Behind the scenes, ToyBox II's features are anything but 
childlike:  multiple levels of nested menu pages that can hold 
several thousand programs; passwords for programs and pages; 
hotkeys; variable program parameters; file pick-lists for easily 
adding programs; and a built-in icon editor for designing your own 
icons.  ToyBox II can run any COM, EXE, or BAT file, or any DOS 
command, and it does not remain in memory while it is running your 
programs.  Superb EGA/VGA graphics.

VERSION HISTORY
---------------

     Version 2.00 was the initial release of ToyBox II, a much 
more powerful follow-on to the original ToyBox program.  Version 
2.01 fixed one small bug and made some minor changes to the 
graphical interface.  This version had very limited distribution.  
Version 2.02 fixes another small bug and makes some more very 
minor changes to the graphics.
