David,
You're absolutely right to suggest "consider the market". I must not
have been clear… what I would want to do is a generic MS-DOS version that
would run on any MS-DOS machine (though I would certainly not be averse to
any Rainbow-specific enhancements ;-}).
I'm not sure what specs for the menu compiler *exist* at this point.
That aspect of the product has been pretty much frozen for several years
now since it has been determined that it really offers NO advantage over
just keeping the menus in plain-text form, and interpreting them. That
might not be true in the memory-constrained MS-DOS environment, though.
I'll have to do some checking around but I am not optimistic that I will
find much of anything. (We bought that portion of the product from another
company and I think all we got was code, no specs.)
