The AlacartE v4.62 menu system provides a friendly interface for the DOS
environment. A preset menu lets the novice user avoid time consuming
navigation through DOS directories in order to invoke various commands.
The advanced user will also benefit, because the menu system requires
fewer key-strokes for operations such as files copying, directories listing,
playback of music or games, running backup, print, or other utilities.
Options activated from the AlacartE menu have no further memory
constraints, as AlacartE does not remain resident during program's
execution. This means that the activated option operates exactly as if
it were started from the DOS prompt, making use of the entire available
memory space.

There is no limit to the number of programs (menu options) that may be
configured to run from AlacartE. Any menu option can be configured to
invoke another menu screen.

AlacartE is mouse driven (point n'click, drag'n drop).

AlacartE includes two screen savers which are too configurable. Also user
configurable are colors and sound. Even the Quit style and message on
'Quit - to DOS' are configurable, meaning that the AlacartE menu is
multi-lingual. The multiple DosKey feature is virtually unlimited and
it does not impose any memory restrictions. An optional security
utility adds password protection to any of the menu options.

AlacartE does not require a hard disk, i.e. it can be run on diskette.
There is no need for special setup to run AlacartE on monochrome screens,
as it will detect the display mode and set itself up! AlaSetup is a
stand-alone utility that configures the menu, but it may be removed
from the run-time system, rendering the preset menu unchangeable.

The AlaSetup utility allows menu titles modification using mouse drag
n'drop, or via keyboard function keys.

Special requirements: None.

Changes: Registration utility and Security access module added.
