  This program makes a menu (sorted alphabetically) out of the .EXE
  files (other than itself) found in same directory as itself.

  This program is specially designed for use with programs like
  Textlife, Bigtext, and Breeze (by the same author).  Textlife and
  Bigtext create executable self-displaying text programs.  If you
  are distributing numerous such .EXE files then EXEMENU can be
  used to simplify and control their execution.


  You can optionally create a text file called EXEMENU.CFG
  specifying screen colours, menu titles, and whether to
  pause after executing a program.

  You can also specify special text to use for a menu entry
  as an alternative to the program file name.  See "Special
  menu entry text" below.

  For example, the file might contain the following lines:

     1
     Computer Magazine
     July, 1992
     no pause

  Colour options are 1..7.  The above example will create a menu
  out of all .exe files (except itself) in the current directory,
  using colour option 1, with the specified title and sub-title,
  and not pausing after executing programs. You may also specify a
  sub-sub-title if you please.



  - SPECIAL MENU ENTRY TEXT -

  Rather than having the program create a menu of simply the names of
  the .EXE files, you can specify the text which is to appear on the menu
  instead of the file name.

  In the configuration file you must specify the text which is to
  replace a file name.  This instruction must be of the form

                filname.exe = Text to appear on menu

  For example, the configuration file might contain the following lines:

     1
     Computer Magazine
     July, 1992
     no pause
     c3.exe = Execute Control 3 file manager
     qmem.exe = System Memory Report

  When you use this method any .EXE files which are not mentioned in
  configuration file will not appear on the menu.  That is, the menu
  will only contain the entries and the text you have specified.

  If you specify text in the configuration file, but the associated
  .EXE file is not found when the menu program is run, then that text
  will not appear on the menu.

  You can make a maximum of 20 such specifications.

  The maximum length of a text instruction to appear on the menu is 40
  characters (half a screen width).



  - Renaming EXEMENU.EXE -

  You may rename EXEMENU.EXE to any name you wish (such as GO.EXE),
  but the configuration file must always be named EXEMENU.CFG
