I've seen a number of programs which (hopefully) improve on the memory hungry
offering supplied by Novell. BUT I wornder if A) Has anyone done any testing
and comparison of the various programs on offer. B) Written a FAQ discribing
this testing (Novell.Menu.FAQ?) C) Is there any FTP site willing to act as an
archive of ALL these programs so that WE can give them a FAIR evaluation.
(For the Shareware, Freeware or PD ones. Comercial version would "only" be
"reviewable" by someone purchaseing a copy).

It seems to me that the only thing going for a particular option
(particularly NEW ones) is mentioning in this group, but then you only get
one of two options mentioned.

Obviously this area is something that a LOT of people feel strongly about (or
there wouldn't be so many different programs around!)

Questions to be asked :- HOW compatible is this clone. How easy is it to
install. What additional features does it give?
How easy is it to determine Novell Menu Compatibility? and which version?
