Summary :
New look in the menus in Scilab. Completely rewritten menus and popup menus in
Scicos.					

Description :
DESCRIPTION
===========
The menus in Scicos have been a little bit unstructured. Therefore I created
this patch to restructure the menus and add menu separators and submenus. Plus
there are some minor improvements. Install the patch by following the
instructions below.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
================
My name is David Helgeson and I am a summer employee at Volvo Powertrain,
Gothenburg, Sweden. As part of my work, I've been investigating Scilab (and
mainly Scicos) for the past weeks. There are things left to do, as removing
obsolete code for the old menus, but I haven't done that yet. As I won't be
here no longer than Aug 13, the patch will not be improved by myself any
longer, so it is provided "as is".

HOW TO INSTALL
==============
*Unzip MenuPatch.zip to [SCIPATH]\menupatch
*Move [SCIPATH]\menupatch\wscilabE.mnu to the folder [SCIPATH]\bin
*Add following lines to the bottom of [SCIPATH]\scilab.star:
exec(home+"/menupatch/scicos.sci");
exec(home+"/menupatch/tk_getvalue.sci");
exec(home+"/menupatch/tk_mpopup.sci");
exec(home+"/menupatch/scicos_params.sci");

IMPROVEMENTS
============
New look in the menus in Scilab

Completely rewritten menus in Scicos. Makes it pretty easy for you to
add/remove menus yourself. The new menus include support for menu separators
and submenus which makes the menus more easy to navigate in.

Added shortcut to Palettes (Place Block).

Partly restructured and cleaned up pop-up menus in Scicos. Added support for
separators in popup menus as well.

Modified buttons in popup boxes. Changed order and text from "Dismiss - OK" to
"OK - Cancel"

Edited default value of final integration time from 100000 to 20.

You can quite easily take back the old menus by reading what have been updated
in the readme-file and change it back to the way it were before.

An overdue improvement in Scilab's most vulnerable area: its GUI. The fact that
menu's are now cutomizable is a substantial bonus.
