I have been following the reponses for this very closely, since we too are
looking for new menu software.  But, I would like to add one more
qualification.

Not only should the product be able to run on Xenix, but should be able, via
source or binary availability, be able to run on other platforms as well.
We are trying to create a single user interface across currently existing
SCO Xenix, SCO Unix, and HP 9000 Model 800's running HP-UX.  There is also
no telling what kind of hardware we will end up with in the future.

Therefore, if anyone knows of a MULTI-VENDOR menu package, or of one that
is well enough written that the authors won't feel threatened by the
suggestion of porting it to a new machine (even when the resources to do the
port are freely offered), please let me know.

(BTW, this article is being posted as follow up to an article which suggested
MenuMagic as a good menu package, which it probably is, and I had hoped to be
able to use it, but it is only available for Xenix, and a conversation with
TKI led a friend of mine to believe that Xenix is all it would ever be
available for, except for perhaps SCO Unix.)

Thank you.
