A new version ,1.520 of MCMenu  will be available via FTP 
at MALA.BC.CA as of September 1 92  

This menu program is Public Domain and includes soruce code.

Advantages over Novell menu program:
     Uses 0K.
     Does not leave menufile open so menufile is not locked.
     Works off a hard drive, no network needed, So hard drive and network
     menus can have the same interface.
     Built in screen blanker while on the menu screen.
     Mouse support.
     Marks submenus for easy identification.
     Allows top and bottom wrap around.
     Can logout from menu.
     Can load TSRs.
     Can use environment variable 'MN' for menu name
       allowing all users to restart menu with 'MCMENU'.
     Can disable escape from menu.  
     Has hooks for remote procedure calls from other stations.
     Improved AlphaKeying  { Can you see the diference }

Differences from Novell menu:   
     No sorting of menu items, they appear in the order in file.
     Ignores Novell colour and location entries
       everything is standard colour and centred.
     Limited to 4000 lines in menu file.
     Limited to 21 items per menu 200 sub menus.



New features in MCMenu V 1.520

   Return to old menu selection option. Allows the menu to 
     re-enter at the old location { like Novells }      

   Application Logging option.  This logs the item and user
     name when programs are launched.

   Menu Reload option.  This allows the last command to be the
     end of the batch file, rather than re-running the menu.
     This improves use of the LOGOUT command and chaining
     to other menus.
