- Menues in the ROlib work but with weaknesses:
-
- * The Seperator is fine provided you don't use it on the icon bar. This hasn't
- been fixed in ANSI C Rel 4
-
- * Menues appear to be limited to 64 entries.
-
- * Submenues that are dynamic can cause severe problems - they're not easy to
- get working.
-
- Consequently, I use menues sparingly in C applications. If only Acorn would fix
- them. However, since I've never seen Acorn respond to problems correctly (as in
- release fixes for a reasonable charge) I don't expect this situation will
- change for a LONG time. A shame really, the C package has some very strong
- points, and seems to be let down by this kind of thing.
