The Master Cow's Game Menu
Author: Jason Quattrini (The Master Cow)
Current Version: 0.99k5

latest changes:
v0.99k5- 07/02/07 1:15pm
- Re-added saving the config file if command line options are used.
At some point, probably long long ago, it ran away.
v0.99k4- 05/28/07 6:20pm
- Additional tweaking of the path storing. Running the menu in DOSBox
was breaking some things. Hopefully all path issues are good now.
Sooooo... should work fine in Win98, DOS, XP, and now DOSBox
compatible!
v0.99k3- 05/25/07 2:54 pm
- Removed a /n in the creation of the file to store the path...
It worked fine in Win98, broke the menu in XP
It's a game menu with a lame name. It runs in MS-DOS, Win9x, Win XP and perhaps in other
things. DOS emulators perhaps. I don't like
to program, so this is kind of an odd thing for me to do. But, I did it. And
it is working satisfactorally. Try it, you might like it.
I tried to make it useful while still being fairly simplistic. I found
someone else's "Game Menu", but it's really complicated (to program, don't
know about using it, as it didn't seem to be what I wanted), and another
that used to be called "Game Menu" (hence my having to change my lame "Game
Menu" name to something even more lame) which isn't really even a menu as I would tend to
think of one. (Not ripping at them, just commenting. No offense intended :P)
My menu is easy to use, not half bad looking, and semi-powerful. And I like
to make it sound good.
Generally, it can be used in one of two ways:
1) It can be used as a menu to run anything.
2) It can be used as a (limited) front-end for emulators and such. This
could be accomplished by, instead of filling the list with seperate things,
fill it with the emulator's games, running the same exececutable file each
time, but with a different game file in each game's option slot. If this
just sounds stupid, look below. I will put a screenshot showing what I mean.
