CBM - a menu system for FutureOS

The Command Bar Menu (CBM) is a part of FutureOS. It provides an user-interface for all own programs. You can use hierarchical pull-down menues to select files or functions. Windows aren't used, because windows curtail the usable screen area.

CBM is not part of the core OS itself. The well documented source code is available. Therefore it's possible to adapt / use CBM for any of your self written FutureOS programs.

If CBM is used for most programs, then every program can have nearly the same appearance. This makes it easier to work with different programs, because the basic functions are located at the same positions.

Examples for programs using CBM are the MP3-Player, the Sprite Converter GMSK, GSEd, Kane and some other applications for FutureOS.
