Once the new version is out I might say yes

Excellent, would indeed be cool if you could use it as a WHDLoad boot disk as well.
Don't forget to give me a shout when it's done

Hopefuly yes

And you wouldn't have to worry about it eating chipram (or fastram for that mater), as it kills itself completely (with the exception of 1kb of RAM).

It's coming along nicely so watch this space

Can't find the damn thing on my HD though, so hopefully s2325 still has it.

Hmmm, only 1 command line?

You have to use 'Execute <script>' then. The scripts contain what would be in the 'if' with JMenu. Hope you get the idea

Ahh I see, thanks.

No problem Hope this will work on an A600 then.

Just tried with 2MB standard 1200 and it worked
I could experiment further to see if it will work on the 1MB 600 (or indeed any 1MB machine).
Only thing with this menu is you are limited to 18 items. I'm not sure how you would open a "page 2" on this menu.

Make a script that opens another menu then (just like with JMenu). Make an option that starts the new script. Not really convenient, but it has to do for now

The program as far as I can see always looks for Runner.menu. I tried "Runner Runner2.menu" but it will always load the default if it can see it. If it's renamed to runner2.menu it compalins there is no menu.
I'll keep at it though.

Seems like that won't work then. Hopefully someone knows another menu program...

Found one on a coverdisk called Button menu, I'll give that a go.

[Eclipse]

Had a go with ButtonMenu.
Looking good so far.
I would prefer it to kill one menu before it loads the next one up. Currently they sit on top of each other.
Is there a command to kill a process? Or one that is the same as quit?
Would "Quit BMX" work? BMX is the executable.

Hopefully someone knows a prog that would kill a running process from CLI. Sucks a bit that the menu prog won't kill itself before calling the chosen option.

Yes, but some things are juddery and some take a while to load. Some 1MB games get "out of expmem" so I may need to look at an alternative again lol
