[comp.sys.mac] MFMenu, V1.2

harrow@bagels.dec.com (Jeff Harrow, NMSG LKG2-2/Y10 DTN=226-5564) (03/29/88)

The excellent  advances  in  MFMenu,  V1.2 seem to be just out of
reach.  It works, but when I attempt to choose either Preferences
or the About... menu item, I just get a "beep".

This occurs on both a Mac-Plus and Mac II.

Has anyone else seen this, and is there a fix?

Thanks,

Jeff Harrow

The code to handle these commands is read from the INIT file when you choose
the command.  MF Menu has the name of the file hardwired into the code.  (I
think it is either MF Menu or MFMenu.)  You can use FEdit or ResEdit to
figure out what the name should be.

So where do I get MFMenu, V1.2, or newer? IF it has been posted before,
can someone re-post, please, or mail me a copy?

I tried using MFMenus and found out that it crashes Microsoft Excel (1.0)!!!!

Anytime you try to choose a menu item from Excel the Mac crashes.

I try removing MFMenus and the problem goes away.

As far as I can tell, this bug only appears when used with Excel, and I haven't
found any other software that it fails with.  The one thing that Excel is
different from all my other software applications that may be causing this
problem is that Excels menu bar is VERY full (ie., the last menu item comes
VERY close to Multifinder icon and the MFMenu invisible menu).  Could this
have anything to do with the problem?

Anybody know of a solution to this?

			thanks,

Yeah. It's called Excel 1.04. Works fine with MFMenus.
