MENU.C and MCHECK.C for UNIX

[rconn%brl at sri-unix.UUCP]

From:      Rick Conn <rconn at brl>

I have completed MENU.C and MCHECK.C for UNIX SYSTEM III.  These are
basically identical to MENU and MCHECK under ZCPR2, with the difference
that they run under UNIX as well.  They have been tested under
UNIX SYSTEM III and BRL, and they are compiled with the -3 option on
the compiler.  They are available (with a man entry) as /d/rconn/.src/menu.c
and /d/rconn/.src/mcheck.c and /d/rconn/.man/menu.1 on BRL, and
they will be available from SIMTEL20 in a day or two.  A partial man
entry follows:

	  MENU -- A Menu Preprocessor for UNIX


	  MENU Version 2.0 by Richard Conn

     SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS
	       MENU is invoked by a command line of the	following
	  form:

			       menu [-n] menufile

	  where	the "-n" is optional and is the	number of a menu to be
	  invoked in a menu file which contains	more than one menu.

	       Hence, MENU command lines may take the following	forms:

		    menu mymenu	   <-- invoke on file 'mymenu'
		    menu -2 mymenu <-- invoke menu 2 of	file 'mymenu'

	       MENU (written in	C) is a	very simple menu preprocessor
	  for use under	the UNIX operating system.  A user can compose
	  files	containing screen displays and command lines which are
	  invoked in response to single-character commands, and	MENU
	  will present those screen displays to	the user and accept
	  both single-character	and text string	(terminated by a
	  RETURN) input	from the user.

	       A file which can	be processed by	MENU can take on the
	  following general format:

	  -o	    <--	set global options (optional line)
	  #o	    <--	define screen display and set local options
	  <text>	 <-- text of screen display
	  #	    <--	end of screen display
	  <c><text> <--	command	letter followed	by text	of command line
	     ...	 <-- additional	menus, all of the format
			 #o
			 <text>
			 #
			 <c><text>
	  #o	    <--	define screen display and set local options for
			 next menu
	  <text>
	  #
	  <c><text> <--	command	letter followed	by text	of command line
	  #	    <--	marks end of last menu
