IMHO it's better then nothing. Unfortunately your MENU text gets completely
uppercase..
It's also possible to combine menu options, to avoid writing thing every
time again.
constructions like 0?devicehigh?=cdrom.sys are also possible
("if menu option 0 chosen, ask if you want to load this driver")
the selected configuration can be determined in AUTOEXEC.BAT in the
environment variable CONFIG like
if %CONFIG% == 0 echo configuration 0 selected
however, if you have no menu's in config.sys, then %config% has no value,
thus resulting in "IF == 0 echo configuration 0 selected."
(which causes syntax errors as there's nothing on the left side of == )
That's why you better use something like:
if [%config%]==[0] echo configuration 0 selected. -or-
if "%config%"=="0" echo configuration 0 selected.
then if there is no menu you have: "IF []==[0] echo configuration 0 selected."
(which will of course output nothing)
