Contribution:     Module and support files as Cmenu-1.0.tgz
                  with module, Makefile.PL, sample scripts and some documentation
Description:      Cmenu.pm
   Name:          Cmenu
   DSLI:          bdpf
   Description:   Curses-based menu and data entry functions
   Info:          DREWF

Required modules: Curses
                  Text::Wrap

Note 1:           Initiative grew from perlmenu.pm v4 which does not support Curses,
                  colour and some other functionality I would have preferred.
                  Initially attempted to revise perlmenu but eventually created a
                  completly new module - it was getting too cumbersome to keep
                  backward compatibility.

Note 2:           Alpha module offered to members of BLUG (Belfast Linux Users Group)
                  for assessment and testing. Got tiny amount of feedback which led
                  to a couple of repairs.
                  Module deemed to be stable enough for wider release

Note 3:           Module offered to perlmenu author as replacment/update but heard
                  nothing after 1 month so now offering indepedently to CPAN. Module
                  renamed to meet CPAN register.

Note 4:           Quite possibly would have been better to develop as an integrated 
module 
                  for Curses directly; also Dialog.pm a direct alternative - ce la vie
