I am finding myself creating batch menus often enough that I would like to spruce them up a bit
I have been limiting myself to just ASCII characters and basic 8 colors.
I would like to semi-automate or make the process easier as I am counting columns and rows to fit an 80x25 standard screen. and though my bets counting seems to work most of the time, I find I am doing small tweaks, "menu boxes' being broken up as the line goes beyond 80 columns at times...
I seem to remember a program for DOS at one point that would help you design menu boxes and justify your test in those boxes and make sure they were place sin the right spots on the screen, adding more color and special character and then export to a batch file.
Unless I am loosing my mind, I remember tinkering around with a program like that.
Any of you have an idea of what I am looking for? My Googling isn't really helping and it usually ends with me on stack overflow and they are using syntax for DOS 7+ and Windows XP or higher, which is useless to me on DOS without additional files the batch file would call from which I am trying not to do trying to rely on just copmmand.com and ansi.sys
...this could be fun...
