Completely agree. Having the configuration information within the executable file itself is a messy and error prone thing.
Why's that? What's error prone about this? And once you're used to this, it's actually a piece of cake. Level 2 is especially nice because it can update new versions of an application to the old configuration. Very convenient.
Anyway, sorry for the dumb question, but isn't both Menu_rext and MenuConfig provided on the QPC disc? I might be wrong, I don't put the disc contents together and haven't seen an original disc in ages, but I thought this was the case.
Menu_rext is not on the Q60 support discs for the same reasons, so I need
a copy to. Has there ever been a version of Sernet for non QL computers
and is there enough documentation in the public domain for anybody to write one?
Well, Menu_rext is not freeware, to start with. Everybody is welcome to bundle it with his product for a small royalty fee. This is how it was in the past, and this will even apply to brandnew products like QDT.
Nobody has approached me to have it bundled on the Q40/Q60 support disks, so it is no surprise it is not on there...
but everybody is welcome to ask!
And yes, it was not originally on the QPC disk as QPC did not have Level 2 right from the start, if I remember correctly. And when it had been implemented by Marcel, I simply forgot to add it. Mind you, all of the QPC customers seem to have other products containing menu, as there was not a single complaint over the years.
I remember very well that at this time, QPC1 was also on the disk and it was completely full - we had to remove stuff. Probably about time to deliver QPC2 on CD...
