These menus were created to be run with Genesis Deluxe Software.  They
     are the products of hours of work and much hair pulling.  I drew them
     on THEDRAW version 3.20.  The biggest pain was constantly forgeting to
     toggle the Animation mode when it was needed.  One of the major problems
     I had in creating these menus was that the prompt constantly appeared on
     the menu once it was drawn.  After constant trial and error I finally
     overcame this problem.
     
     There were two main objectives in creating these menus.  They are as 
     follows.  First, Genesis Deluxe is so powerful and has so many commands
     that the younger and newer users to Genesis Deluxe get lost in its vast
     amounts of commands.  So I have gotten rid of some of the commands that
     are not used that often.  I watched users on my BBS for hours determining
     what commands were least or never used.  I then eliminated them and used
     only the vital ones.  Second, these screens are animated, and I wanted
     them to be drawn as quickly as possible.  I found that in animation that
     the more often you change colors and when you use multiple colors that
     it takes quite a bit longer.   It's not so bad when I call at 9600 and
     get animation but for the user that is at 1200 or even 300 it is pract-
     ically murder.  Especially when they are calling long distance. Thus I
     came up with what I call "THE GRID" as a background on which the menus 
     are drawn.  
     THE GRID works great in that it provides a high tech almost 3-D effect
     to the menu.
     
     Well, thats about it.  Just copy these files into your Genesis Menu
     Directory and thats it.  Pretty simple, huh?  Oh yeah!  I have come
     up with some even greater ideas.  I know how much of a pain it is
     to create menus.  So if you would like some custom menus for your 
     board then just give mine a call and leave me a comment.  Just leave
     your board name, your name, and I will have them ready for you in
     about a week.  Best of all Ill do it free of charge!  You will have
     to call and download them though.  Ha, Ha!
