BRISTOL COMPUTING PROFESSIONAL MENU SYSTEM is a DOS menuing system
engineered for ease of use and increased productivity. It's screen
displays were designed to provide an intuitive interface as well as a
professional appearance.  Productivity increase is realized by reducing
the keystrokes required to start application programs and repetitive
tasks while eliminating the need for memorization of complex commands.
This makes it ideal in an office environment as well as in the home. BCS
MENU PROGRAM makes all the programs on your computer easily accessible.

Enhanced menu editing capabilities include a Command Helper mode which
allows you to browse your disk(s) for executable files or for menu
files. Also, you can set the state of NUM LOCK, CAPS LOCK and SCROLL
LOCK in each menu file. Improved support for monochrome adapter has been
added.

BCS MENU PROGRAM allows up to 100 entries per menu.  The possible
number of menu files is virtually unlimited (limited only by DOS file
naming conventions).  Each menu item may contain up to six lines of
descriptive information.  BCS MENU PROGRAM is completely self contained.
It features on-line, interactive menu editing.

Complete Microsoft compatible mouse support is provided.  Support for
MDA, CGA, EGA, MCGA, VGA & 8514/A video adapters.  Palette control on
EGA/VGA allows selection from 64 colors in standard text mode.  BCS MENU
PROGRAM features an advanced, intuitive color editing screen that allows
easy color customization.  Colors are saved in the menu file, not in the
program (allowing different color selections for each menu). Optional
automatic screen blanking is user modifiable in time increments from 1
to 99 minutes.

Each menu item may be password protected; exit to DOS may also be
password protected.  Support for up to 20 user input variables per menu
item; the user is prompted for input prior to command execution. (A user
input variable allows the user to enter text that is substituted into
the command sequence.)

BCS MENU PROGRAM is not a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program. It
doesn't use batch files to execute commands.  All commands are executed
directly from memory, yet, BCS MENU PROGRAM uses only 2.5K RAM during
command execution.
