PC-MASTERCONTROL (PCMC) is an in-depth custom menu and file management
system for hard drives.

PCMC runs programs or DOS commands from menus, which you create, to
help you stop fighting with your computer and become its friend.  The
menu section lets you access your programs with a single key.  You no
longer have to remember complex commands to run the many programs on
your hard drive.  You create and name your own custom menus.  Then
simply point to the menu you want and you're there -- without a
tremendous headache!  The hard disk manager section lets you do all the
complex DOS commands, and more, in a simple and easy-to-use
format.  Set up this powerful package once and let it run your PC
forever.

Here are some of PCMC's features:

~ Exits memory when running a menu and returns when finished --
freeing up memory for your programs

~ Extensive help keyed to each screen guides you through the
program, as well as AutoHelp, a tutorial

~ Hundreds of command menus (macros) for the demanding user

~ Built-in editor to make menus (no fancy macro commands needed)

~ Built-in screen saver to avoid screen burn-in

~ Insert, delete or swap menus and macros with the press of a key

~ Set the colors of any screen

~ Check the total space and free space on any drive

~ Copy, erase or move one file, or hundreds of files at a time

~ Find any file on any drive with the global file finder

~ And much, much more!

    F1-Help:

    PC-MasterControl has extensive on line help. No matter where you are at
    in the program you can receive "Position-Sensitive-Help" by pressing
    the F1-Help key. So please remember to use the F1-Help key as you move
    from one screen to another!

    Note: The Install/Removal program is not shipped with F1 on line help.
    Simply follow the prompts on the screen.
                                                                       more...

    LINE INPUT:

    Each time PC-MasterControl ask for you to type in something it will
    control the characters you type. That is if you press a letter that is
    not allowed it will beep.

    =========================< Technical notes >==========================

    After installing PC-MasterControl on your hard drive the program will
    make several files in the directory [Drive]:\PCMC. DO NOT erase any
    files in this directory and DO NOT create Sub Directories in this
    directory!

    Command Menus (each set of 20 command sets) are saved in the files
    COMMAND.0, COMMAND.1, etc. The file COMMAND.0 corresponds to Command
    Menu #1, the file COMMAND.1 corresponds to Command Menu#2, etc.

    Command Menu names (the 10 names for each menu) are saved in the file
    MENU_NAM.DAT.


                                                                     more...

    You must have at least 10 files and 10 buffers in CONFIG.SYS for PC-
    MasterControl to operate properly.

    If you are using DOS version 3.xx or higher you do not need to include
    the statement [Drive]:\PCMC; in your PATH statement.
