Ultra Manager (1991-1997)

Ultra Manager was started in 1991 as Menu-System. I worked on this project for 6 years, it was my biggest personal project. It was created as a boot menu for DOS and over the years I added many extra features to it. All development was done in QuickBasic and later PowerBasic. The following pages contain screenshots from version 6.1h.

For deployment, Ultra Manager includes a feature for creating installation disks. And now, many years later, it is available for download here. 😀
