MASTER MENU  is  a  system which provides easy access to your
computer applications.  It is designed to relieve the PC user
of the task of remembering the startup  procedures  for  each
application.   By  establishing  these startup procedures one
time and storing these procedures in the menu file, the  user
may then access any application with a single keystroke.

MASTER MENU  runs on any PC-DOS or MS-DOS based system with a
hard disk.  The system can be used on  a  Floppy  system  but
with little advantage.

We fully realize that there are many Menu programs out in the
world  but  we  also BELIEVE that MASTER MENU is the simplest
and most  straightforward  for  the  personal  computer  user
(especially   small   businesses)   who  have  absolutely  no
knowledge of DOS or the basic functions which they  will  use
in  a  day  to  day  operation.   This  typically consists of
changing directories and keying start up commands as required
by each piece of application software.

MASTER MENU is not  TSR,  contains  NO  unnecessary  features
which tend to complicate use for the computer illiterate.  It
simply  allows  a  user  to  automatically  access his or her
software which of course is the primary purpose of  having  a
computer  system.  Once a user finishes use of their software
and exits it, control returns back to MASTER MENU  ready  for
other work by the user.

MASTER MENU  is  written and supported by heavily experienced
Computer professionals who come from the large scale business
Data   Processing   environment   and   now   service   small
businesses.   MASTER  MENU is written in Microsoft 3.0A COBOL
and supported at a Microsoft approved BETA site.

Therefore, we  would  like  to  make  MASTER  MENU  available
nationally on the following basis:

1. FREE   to   all  Sysops,  Software  Developers  and  other
   categories of persons who do NOT operate a business or use
   PC's to support a business.  In other words,  if  you  use
   it  -  great,  feel free.  If you make money from it, then
   share it with us (SEE BELOW).

2. We encourage  the  above  listed  who  sell  hardware  and
   application software to small business or functional users
   to  offer  MASTER  MENU as a basic feature of their user's
   system and set it up in the user's AUTOEXEC.BAT for  them.
   We currently have many customers who do not know the first
   thing  about  DOS  commands because once their application
   software has been initially installed MASTER MENU is  used
   to  provide  them  that  routine access without concerning
   themselves with DOS.

   Charge your user a reasonable license fee for MASTER  MENU
   (suggested $49.00) and remit 50% to METRO Associates on an
   honor basis for registration.  We have found that a fee in
   this  range  is  more  than  justified  since  the  user's
   operation is greatly simplified and keying time  is  saved
   on  every activity.  Furthermore, the usual Start-up BAT's
   files which often accompany application  software  can  be
   eliminated  since  we  have  not found one which cannot be
   simulated by MASTER MENU.
