Is it possible to customise DOS boot menu in such a way that it shows description for each option on the list, similar to what PXE boot offers these days? Let's say I have 3 menu options - conventional memory, EMS and XMS. For each of these I'd like to add description at the bottom of the screen listing games that are best suited for these specific settings. With the multitude of games I have on my retro dos machine, is simply don't remember which one of them requires XMS, or wchich one hates memory managers and will only run with conventional memory. It doesn't look like vanilla DOS 6.22 or 7 has that kind of funcionality built in and I struggle to find any extensions that would add something like that
