Hi folks. I've already spoken with the original poster about this, but i
thought i'd let some people know about this, since Mr. Williams has asked
so kindly. :)
I've got a login menu system that i wrote in curseperl. Actually it's
Heavily based on Steven Kunz's (skunz@iastate.edu) Ultra winning perlmenu
package. Basically, it allows you to setup a menuing system that the user
can either see at startup, or by executing it on the command line.
The menu looks and feels like a hybrid cross of UW's Pine and the UMinn
gopher client.
I've been hesitant to tell many people about this because the code is
fairly ugly, and i haven't had a chance to fix it lately. But now, one of
my jobs explicitly rides on me maintaining it, so i'll be spending a lot
more time watching it.
If anyone has any questions, or wants to see a demo of it, please email me
and i'll do my best to answer them asap.
thanx.
