Using MENU_BOOT

Post by badaman »

(For now, the program is only in Spanish)

In 2008 - a few years ago - I created a program that allows you to flexibly configure boot menus for classic QL, without a window environment.

The program offers a wide range of configuration possibilities to display a menu from which to select options that allow you to launch applications.

The menu may or may not show information related to the options depending on how we configure it, it can go through a broad list of options, and launch one or more of the options if desired.

In short, the 'BOOT MENU' is nothing more than an interactive BOOT of BOOTs.

For those just starting out with QL, this can be a useful tool for preparing your application collections on disk.

In this QBlog article I explain how to take advantage of it:

By default, as an example, the application comes prepared to use as a help menu.

QBITS
Thank you! Yes, with this translation it is possible to understand how the application works and use it. The important thing will be translated MENU_CFG and MENU_LST. I'll see if I spend time on it this weekend.
