Don Kinzer, the menu compiler actually sounds like a very good idea, thanks!

It wasn't meant as a real option, probably couldn't get that software 
anyway. There is some modern software around though, like 
e-sim/RapidPLUS <http://www.e-sim.com> but I'm afraid to even ask what 
that would cost us.

I once was a member of a computer club that mainly ran VAXens with 
OpenVMS and I actually liked the OS, but a VAX 11 or 6000 or that sort 
of a machine is a bit too large for my apartment (Yes, there were those 
that ran them in their dorm rooms, nice and warm in the winter, a bit 
too hot in the summer... =), and I already have too many machines eating 
away at my electric bill anyway. Hmmm, maybe an alpha workstation... No, 
don't give me bad ideas, I don't need more of those. ;)
