{
I saw someone could use a menu unit like the one used with RA/FD/ALLFIX..
Well... I have one... :

úoO BEGIN Menus.Pas Ooú
(* This unit is (c) 1995 by Archangel/DMA
   You can use this unit, or parts of it in your own programs as
   long as you mention my name somewhere (I didn't code it all for
   fun you know =])

   It's a pretty straightforward unit, if you don't get it, try to
   look at the code some more and probably you'll understand. Or you
   can read the comments.

   About comments, there are not much comments since I'm not good at
   commenting my own sources...

   This is something to consider, this constant holds the amount of screens
   saved in memory before the unit starts saving on disks. Since I've only
   built in total screen saving, 10 screens will take up 40000 bytes. If
   you need that memory either set it to a lower value or set it to '1'.
