EZ-MENU Shareware Release 3.8 - By Michael Perry

Author: Michael Perry, Progressive Computer Services, Inc.

     EZ-MENU is the Ultimate Computer Organizer, and much more than
     a basic menu system and application launcher.  EZ-MENU allows
     you to organize all of your applications (DOS, Windows, etc.)
     in a series of menus that can be instantly launched with a single
     key or mouse click.  EZ-MENU is designed for people who hate to
     read manuals, and includes numerous features, built-in help and
     painless, automatic installation.

     Beyond the basic features, EZ-MENU includes a virtual plethora
     of advanced capabilities including:

     * automatic menu building and scanning of your hard drive (recognizing
       thousands of DOS & Windows applications!)
     * usage tracking and activity reporting (EZ-MENU can even tell if
       the PC was turned off or rebooted from an application)
       Activity logs can be generated in summary or detailed format, to
       the screen, printer or disk file.  Activity can even be extracted
       based on particular user-specified criteria (i.e. list all dates
       where a particular program was run, etc.)!  You can even print
       reports outlining when particular programs were run; when the computer
       was reset in an application & more!
     * NEW ability (with 3.8f/6.0f) to invoke a Windows application from
       the menu and have it automatically return to EZ-Menu upon termination
       of the specified Windows application (no more being left at progman!)
     * full mouse support, NOT memory resident up to 120 items per menu,
       with a virtually unlimited number of menus & nested submenus!
     * new "System Lock" feature to disable all non-menu functions so that
       users can only select menu options!
     * single-key execution of programs; easy editing (no special command
       language used - just answer basic questions); single key commands to
       add, edit, copy, swap, erase, & sort menu items!
     * virtually every aspect of the system is user-configurable from colors
       and time/date formats to the menu layout, security, passwords & more!
     * EZ-Menu runs with any IBM-compatible PC (8088/286/386/486/Pentium ++)
       and supports all DOS-compatible peripherals
     * built-in menu of DOS commands (new release also covers DOS 5 & 6
       and many manufacturer-specific utilities)!
     * Reset-re-execution: the ability to automatically restart any program
       that was interrupted by a power outage, reboot, or unauthorized
       termination (great for BBSes, FAX systems and more)!
     * Timed-Execution: the ability to automate the execution of any
       application on your PC: daily, weekly, monthly, annually,
       incrementally (every x minutes) or on an exact date!
     * 4-level encrypted password security: any individual menu item or
       group of menu items can be password-proected; access to DOS and
       modification of the menu system can also be restricted
     * Full multiuser "network-style" logging into the menu, with different
       security levels & configuration options for each user!
     * Special EZUSER utility to update & maintain user accounts, and
       generate real-time reports on user activities (in LAN environments)
     * Context-sensitive, menu item-specific user-definable help boxes
       that can be configured to appear a variety of different ways to
       provide helpful information to the user!
     * EZ-MENU is the PERFECT front end to Windows, allowing you to launch
       Windows(tm) apps faster and DOS apps with NO loss in memory or
       performance; also runs under Windows as well
     * many, many other features too numerous to list!

 ==> SPECIAL LAN VERSIONS AVAILABLE AS WELL WITH EVEN MORE FEATURES!!!

     EZ-MENU has received many honors and awards including EDITOR'S CHOICE
     in PC Magazine, "Best Product" in PC HOME JOURNAL, "Publisher's Pick"
     in PCM MAGAZINE, and is endorsed by the JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTANCY, BOEING
     EMPLOYEES COMPUTING SOCIETY, and even JOHN C. DVORAK who stated in his
     Inside Track Column, "I now use EZ-MENU full-time on my PC.  It saves
     too much time for me to ignore and its ease of use and installation
     are to be applauded."

     Registered user will automatically receive the latest commercial
     version free via US mail or UPS, which contains even more features and
     enhancements (and does not have our 'title page'). There are two
     levels of registration: the 'basic' level ($35) where we send you the
     latest and greatest version on disk (with DOCs on disk) or for $50 we
     send you via UPS the complete shrink-wrapped package with
     professionally-printed manuals. This enclosed Shareware version if
     fully-functional, and does have a title page that pops-up (but there
     is no 'timer' or anything similar - a single keypress at any time
     removes the title screen (or 30 secs of inactivity). A few non-
     essential features are unavailable in this Shareware version (i.e. you
     cannot modify the message at the bottom of the screen) Special LAN
     versions are also available. There is also a self-running slideshow
     demo available from our BBS under EZDEMO.ZIP on 1:396/21.
