- This has been hashed out here already. The short answer is that Magic
- Menus *does* violate the AmigaDOS programming rules and a corrected "beta
- version" was provided to Softwood, who confirmed that it worked correctly
- with FW4. The correction will be part of an upcoming enhancement of
- Magic Menus.
-
- Until the enhanced/corrected MM is released, the simple solution is "DDT"
- (Don't Do That). Softwood is not in a position to release the fixed
- "beta version" that they received, so it's up the MM developer.
