Generate Menus

[Chris Kelleher]

I need to regenerate all the menus in an old(PT63) MXP system. Does
anyone have a tool they would share to do this, or know how to call the
system utility directly?

TIA

Hi,

The MXP/Varnet compiler allows you to (re-)generate menus. You also have the
ability to generate menus without compiling programs. Just make sure that
you include menu entry 0, which is the menu itself, for the menu you want to
regenerate.

Another (but slower) way to do it would be to go into the menu maintenance
(menu.maint) function, and change a function's description. This would
change each menu that the function is part of.

Hope this helps,

Joel

Also, you can go to the 'menu.maint' function, create a 'blank' function
(there is an existing 'z_funct' for it) into any menu.
Once it is added go back and delete it. It will re-generate the all menu
system.
