Griz,
EthaWin was the TUI (text user interface) and I plan to completely
rewrite it using all the "mad coding skillz" I have acquired over the
past 10 years.
MultiBoot's menu, which ran from the RS-DOS side, was not configurable
as far as I know, BUT it would be easy to add (since it already changed
the screen colors to white on black). I don't recall if Terry (who
wrote the RS-DOS side of things) switched it into a 40 column screen,
or if that was just the 32 column screen with colors changed. If it
WAS already made to be 40 cols, then altering to 80 should be easy.
I certainly would like to bring all the old Sub-Etha stuff up to date,
as much as I can. You know, things like adding the "missing" right
file browsing panel to Towel (it was planned to have one but I never
added it) so you could copy back and forth easier without typing in
path names and such.
We shall see!
