<H1>Visual Chos</H1>
<B>Version 0.8, (c) <i>Andreas Blome</i> 1997.</B>
<P>
<B>Visual Chos</B> is an X11 frontend to <B>Choose-OS</B>. It is written in TCL/TK, one of the best
programming languages :-)). With <B>Visual Chos</B> you can easily
generate configuration files for <B>Choose-OS</B>. It is also possible to preview the bootmenu
as it would look at boottime. So you can see where the menu entries and the timer would be
displayed and change the position until you like the result. In one of the next versions it
will be possible to set the position interactive (move the entries around).
<BR>
<H2>Requirements:</H2>
<LI>TCL 7.6
<LI>TK 4.2
<LI>Choose-OS V0.8
<LI>od (for previewing the dump background)
<H2>To Do:</H2>
<LI>speed up the preview if a dump background is selected (TCL is not fast handling binary files)
<LI>make Visual Chos real "visual", allow to move the position of the menu, the timer and even
each single menu entry.
<LI>write a own file select box, the build in tk fileselect box can only select files and not
directories (needed for the <I>bindir</I> option).
<LI>fix Bugs
<LI>add upcomming <B>Choose-OS</B> features
