REGISTRATION / FEEDBACK RRKMenu is FreeWare (not public domain), but if you want an actual version of the program (if there is one), You can send me 30 $ US or 50 DM (otherwise, I haven't the time to walk to the post office and I hate bureaucratic things).

LIESMICH.TXT German README README.TXT this file The program generate files like RRKDAT.xxx and RRKIDX.xxx in his own directory. (database for using automatically Icons) HOW TO INSTALL: Copy the file "menu09.zip" in a new directory and unzip the file (pkunzjr 2.04g). After doing that, you can remove the file "menu09.zip". (You can drag the RRKMENU.EXE from the File-Manager to a Group-Window in the Program-Manager.) If you don't need the German files (RRKMENG.DLL, RRKMGER.HLP, BWCCGER.DLL, LIESMICH.TXT), you can delete this files. The file RRKMENU.EXE is the program. After starting the program, push the right mousebutton!! I have pre-configured the menu. Probably You have a drive "c:\" and You have installed Windows at "c:\windows". Otherwise You have to change the corresponding menuitems. HOW TO UNINSTALL: Delete the directory. That's it. (There isn't any entry in WIN.INI and any INI-file in Windows-directory or elsewhere. Swiss are tidy boys :-)) LAST MINUTE CHANGES: I added a new feature, to simulate the look of the OpenLook Desktop Menu. There is no dialogue option for this feature. Use the editor, open the file RRKMENU.INI and change in the section [General Properties] the entry OWL_LIKE=0 to OWL_LIKE=1. Before restarting the Menu, it is recommended to delete all the files RRKIDX.* and RRKDAT.*. If You are a Windows-programmer, please look at HISTORY.TXT
