I have been playing with DSHELL.X
Dshell lets you build a menu that can start programs/games etc on a floppy or hard disk - even better you can use a joystick to select items from the menu (good for none keyboard owners). you can of course use the mouse/keyboard as well.
i reckon its probably quite powerful. hope someone can dig up some docs on it. Eidis i think this is going to make a great front end to your disk image. heres what i found...
Dshell experimentation
Usage: dshell [Option [...]] filename [title]
command line args
-T Title at top of page
dshell -T"Your Title"
-0 Background colour
dshell -0-0000 - black background
dshell -0-FFFF - White (yes its a four-digit hexadecimal)
-1 Top and Bottom band colour
dshell -1-1234 (hex again)
you can of course do this;
dshell -0-0000 -1-1234 -T"My Title"
Menu/control file
It appears to need a special character to mark the hot spot (one small circle inside a larger one) that you click on/select to start the item.
Question: how is this entered?
(o) Some Text TYPE=CLI:a:/SOMEFOLDER/SOME.BAT
(o) Some Text TYPE=CLI:DIR
(o) Some Text TYPE=DOC:SOME.DOC
Note: the 'TYPE' looks promising and i'll bet theres several TYPEs supported. Pics, Music etc...
full example.
-assuming you have created a file called test.doc with the 3 lines of text above, starts with the (o).
A>DSHELL -0-0000 -1-1234 -T"This is a test" test.doc
Misc
f10 - quits dshell
Question: there's a 'menu' button at the bottom - what does it say?
