Hi,   
      
   While I was working on my MBSE install I realise that what might be useful    
   when   
    making a large    
   amount of changes to my BBS's menus would be having them in an ASCII format    
   whi   
   ch I can then pass    
   through any number of tools, scripts, editors etc that I've built up over the    
   ears.   
      
   So I wrote a quick Python script that "disassembles" MBSE .MNU files into a    
   ser   
   ies of textual    
   descriptions of them that look like this:   
      
   //STARTENTRY   
   	MenuKey|*   
   	attributes|0   
   	MenuType|1   
   	OptionalData|main.mnu   
   	Display|   
   	level|0   
   	flags|0   
   	notflags|0   
   	Age|0   
   	xMaxSecurity|0   
   	DoorName|   
   	TypeDesc|Goto another menu   
   	HiForeGnd|0   
   	HiBackGnd|0   
   	ForeGnd|0   
   	BackGnd|0   
   //ENDENTRY   
      
   And of course I wrote quick assembler to turn a file with a series of these    
   ent   
   ries into .MNU    
   files.    
      
   I'm pretty sure that everyone here has a long established board and no need to    
   make a lot of    
   changes their menu definitions but just in case anyone else finds it useful,    
   yo   
   u can grab it at
