pdmenu

A simple menu program

Pdmenu is a menuing system for Unix. It is designed to be easy to use, and is suitable for a login shell for inexperienced users, or it can just be ran at the command line as a handy menu. Pdmenu features color support and GPM mouse support at the linux console. It compiles on most varieties of Unix. See Pdmenu's man pages for information about the format of the pdmenurc file, and how to use the program. I was prompted to write Pdmenu when I took a look at a shell script that used dialog to generate similar menus. The shell script was huge, complicated, and ugly, and had to be modified manually to add anything to the menu. I hope that Pdmenu is better. :-)
