DOS ain't dead

DougMenu (Developers)

Is there somebody using Dougmenu? And is there somebody who could improve it? I got request from one user who would needed it.


One of the underlying tools you'll see in action when using eGPU Setup 1.x is the Dougmenu menu system. A great piece of software but could certainly do with some enhancements. The author appears to have disappeared but I found source code for almost the latest. It's linked at the bottom of this post. I tried to get on the 'DOS Ain't Dead' forum to make a request but have not had approval for a login as yet.

Perhaps something you can put out and see if anyone's interested in developing further? Some enhancements that I'd request being:

* provide facility to remove the title, so menus can then sit at position (0,0). Now needs to sit at (0,3) due to the title.
* ability to place window text without a surrounding window
* menuitems that accept variable names rather than static text
* gray out menuitems that are not applicatble
* Allow > 24 line window size
* radio select/check buttons

Cheers,

Nando
