• In 1989, I created a DOS based VGA graphics menu system with mouse or single keystroke control. The system was written in Turbo Basic. It displayed computer art and was a "front end" menu system for running applications. The end user could easily customize the menus for running his own applications. The menu system was designed to use no RAM when a DOS application was run from it. When the application terminated the menu system restarted.
