China DOS Union

Asking yaya about displaying Chinese in CONFIG.

I used the http://www.cn-dos.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=18763&fpage=1 You posted the program in this thread, and it really feels very good. Now I have encountered a problem and don't know how to implement it..

First of all, I have a first-level menu, which is already in Chinese, and the functions in each option are different. However, because there are too many menu options, some things need to set a second-level menu, which is this problem. May I ask how to implement: when we use the Enter key to select item B, instead of executing, we call the next-level menu again, and the options of the menu are completely different from the first level, and there need to be multiple options, just single selection. I saw the other menu CONFIGP you posted, which is not easy to use, because using the cursor left and right keys to select the next-level menu feels impractical and not easy to use, so I still choose the above one, but I don't know how to set the second-level menu. Please give me advice. If possible, please give an example. Thank you.

Please look at example 3 of the random file. The first - level menu uses cmo=, the second - level menu uses cm1=,... CONFIGP should be relatively advanced, and using the cursor left and right keys to select the next - level menu is just a matter of habit.

Thanks for sharing, thank you!

Thanks for providingThanks for providingThanks for providing

Quite a good original work!

Really a master, downloaded and saved for later use

Thanks for the great share..........Spent a few days researching, finally succeeded in testing......
Didn't expect there are really many experts here..... Especially yaya....And Ben Shi....
Here I especially thank your shares,,, you are really experts experts super experts........

Some questions about using CONFIG.SYS, please ask Master YAYA

1\ Does it support path calls, such as: DEVICE=a:\sys\ConMenu.SYS. Or must it be placed in the root directory
2\ The following CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=CONFIG.EXE
DEVICE=CONMENU.SYS
REM COLOR=
REM DEFAULT=A,15
REM CAPTION=
REM CAPTION= Title
REM ENDNOTE= Endnote

REM CM0=[A. Real mode boot. (UMBPCI mode)

REM CM1=[?A. Load NTFS partition read-write driver. (Identify NTFS partition)
//Ask: Here I want to load the NTFS driver, but how do I judge that the user has selected this item in AUTOEXEC? That is, how do %cm0%, %cm1% correspond to the menu?
REM CM1=]1A

REM CM1=[?B. Load SCSI/USB devices. (USB flash drive/USB CD drive/SCSI hard drive, etc.)
REM INCLUDE1=2 //Ask: Where should the INCLUDE in the submenu be written
REM CM1=]2A

REM CM1=[?C. Load IEEE1394 devices. (1394 CD drive/hard drive)
REM INCLUDE1=3
REM CM1=]3A

REM CM1=[D. Determine option
//Ask: Can I return to the upper menu here like in CONFIG? How to write it?
REM CM1=]4B
REM CM1=[END]
DEVICEHIGH=UMBPCI.SYS
REM INCLUDE0=1
REM CM0=]A

REM CM0=[B. Protected mode boot. (EMM386 mode)

REM CM1=[?A. Load NTFS partition read-write driver. (Identify NTFS partition)
REM CM1=]1B

REM CM1=[?B. Load SCSI/USB devices. (USB flash drive/USB CD drive/SCSI hard drive, etc.)
REM INCLUDE1=2
REM CM1=]2B

REM CM1=[?C. Load IEEE1394 devices. (1394 CD drive/hard drive)
REM INCLUDE1=3
REM CM1=]3B

REM CM1=[D. Determine option
REM CM1=]4B
REM CM1=[END]
REM INCLUDE0=1
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000
REM CM0=]B

REM CM0=(1
DEVICEHIGH=HIMEM.SYS /testmem:off /q
DEVICEHIGH=QDMA.sys /l
REM CM0=)1

REM CM0=(2
DEVICE=USBASPI.SYS /v
DEVICEHIGH=USBCD.SYS /D:USB-CD
DEVICE=DI1000DD.SYS
REM CM0=)2

REM CM0=(3
DEVICE=SBP2ASPI.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=CDSDMINI.SYS /D:FWR-CD
DEVICE=DI1000DD.SYS
REM CM0=)3

I guess config.sys should support path calls, you can give it a try.
%cm0% returns A, %cm1% returns A.
The submenu cannot contain the parent menu item. The implicit items 1, 2, 3 must be placed before REM CM0=]A and repeated before REM CM0=]B. You are now at level 0 menu. This is the tedious part of the step-by-step execution menu.
Cannot return to the previous menu.
You can try the parallel execution menu.

I tested the support path of ConMenu.sys and can place it in another directory, so the root directory is cleaner.

Thank you for your guidance.

Hope YAYA can add a function to conmenu.sys:

The title and footer are expected to be able to control the display in lowercase like ECHO.SYS. Otherwise, if there are English words in the title or footer, they will all be displayed in uppercase. Can the function of ECHO.SYS also be integrated and controlled by parameters?

Express my gratitude again

Suggestion as the title.

Reasons:
1. The config.sys of DOS allows using semicolons to represent comments;
2. Can significantly reduce the size of Config.sys, which is very helpful when making boot disks to compress file sizes. It can be described as "every inch of space is precious";
3. Concise.

It's so happy to support Chinese

Give yaya a small suggestion:
Personally, the result I used is very good, but there is a small suggestion for use:
I wonder if the line spacing of each line can be modified? Then it won't look so cramped.....
