Since the line_input system was based on some Mailer code of mine, I thought I'd take a look and see how the concept might hold up to a menu system. I hacked one out over the weekend and it's pretty compact. It is probably slightly easier to understand than the Oasis OLC code, if only because my system does not require custom hooks in nanny() or in modify.c. You add the hooks once, and then use them for all subsequent menus. Other than that, the performance and complexity is probably about the same. It uses function pointers instead of "big switch" constructs, and a bunch of macros that I defined to keep the code fairly neat. I still need to put together detailed documentation of how to use it...all I have so far is a reasonable example that I used for testing. It will probably be a week or two before I get it all together and uploaded to the ftp site, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone is interested in an advanced copy, and perhaps providing me with some feedback. If so, email me directly and I'll send you what I have so far.
