- DropMenu 1.1
- Written 1992 by Paul Wilkinson
- This software is hereby released into the public domain.
-
- DropMenu is a little commodity which gives the Amiga drop-down menus,
- similar to those common on the IBM PC. After running DropMenu, the first
- right mouse button click makes the menu bar appear. The second right mouse
- button click turns off the menu bar. Why would you want such a thing? I'm
- glad you asked! Navigating menus and submenus can be real pain, especially
- if your right mouse button isn't all that reliable...without DropMenu that is!
-
- To start DropMenu, run it or double click on it's icon. To remove it, run it
- again or use the Commodities exchange to kill it.
-
- When it is installed, clicking the right mouse button will show the menu bar.
- Moving the mouse to highlight a menu item and clicking the right mouse button
- again will select that item. If the mouse is moved while the right button is
- held down then the menus will function normally.
-
- DropMenu is written in C. I compiled it under Aztec C 5.0d. It should
- compile under Lattice but who knows?
-
- The program seems to work OK, but it has had only minimal testing. As the
- program is public domain I cannot be held responsible for any problems
- you have with it.
-
- Included with this distribution are 6 files:
- DropMenu.doc - This file
- DropMenu.c - C source file for DropMenu
- DropMenu.h - header file for DropMenu
- DropMenu.info - Icon for DropMenu
- DropMenu - The actual executable
- makefile - An Aztec C makefile to make DropMenu
-
- As this program is public domain I can't really impose restrictions on it's
- distribution, but if you do distribute this program please include all the
- files for the benefit to others. What do you say? As a favour to me? Thanks!
