"Popup": The popup menu handler
-------------------------------
"Popup" is a popup menu system for all Atari 'C' programmers to use.
Popup menus can be called up on demand, or used as a replacement for
the standard GEM top menu bar, or both. Why use this popup menu system
instead of another ? Well here are a few advantages:
* A help string may be displayed with each menu item
* Sub-menus to any depth are supported, (such as those found on the
Amiga that only extend to one sub-level).
* No resource file, all menus are compiled along with your main code
* Related options may be grouped together within sub-menus
* Powerful editor supplied with this package allows easy modification
of menu definitions
* Works in all three screen resolutions
Interested ? Good, now I'll outline the contents of this package and
how you should use the supplied files.
The Demonstration
-----------------
In order for you to get a feel of the facilities offered by the
popup menus, have a look in the DEMO folder and run DEMO.PRG. Pay
particular attention to the sub-menus and the greyed lines (not just
rows of grey minus signs !). Note that you must keep the left mouse
button pressed to use the 'Hold down' menu option.
There are several keyboard shortcuts used in the demo, they are:
ALT-A "About...."
ALT-C "Check me"
ALT-Q "Quit"
ALT-D "Drop down"
ALT-H "Hold down"
The source code to the demonstration program is provided, and is
discussed in another document. You should really print out this source
code and try to understand it before you attempt to set out on your
own.
Limitations
-----------
This unregistered version of Popup comes supplied with the
necessary object code to allow anyone that uses Lattice 'C' V5 to
create and use popup menus. Users of other 'C' compilers should
register, they will then receive the source code to the popup menu
system which they may modify and recompile as per their needs. Users
of Lattice 'C' V5 should register anyway, as that's what shareware is
all about ! See programmers documentation for details of how to use
the object code and header file.
Copyright

distribute the package, unedited. If you find that you use the Popup
system in any of your programs, then you must register your support to
