BMENU allows simplified development and use of command menus. The menu
files are built with a text editor, using an abbreviated and simple set
of commands. Anyone who can use a text editor can use this system.

MENUGET is another program to incorporate menus into batch files. The
disk comes with a set of demonstration programs and menus. The
documentation is sparse, but adequate.

One of the demonstration programs, DATIME.EXE, is very functional as it
allows you to set the system time and date on a single line in a variety
of time/date formats. You should add this one to your system's utilities

This is a nice program, one that should simplify using the computer for
people who don't want to learn DOS in detail, and don't want to pay the
higher price of most commercially-available menu programs.

System Requirements:  None.

How to Start:  Type MENU (press enter).
