IKIOSK & Graying Menus

The current version of IKIOSK attempts to gray out 
all disabled menus items and success depends on
the target program's internal structure. 

A FREE upgrade to IKIOSK (for Windows '95) is due
for release on November 15, 1997. This new version will
have a new interface (same as WINSelect) and 
new features & capabilities which include the ability to
gray out all menus in 32 bit programs.

IKIOSK and WINSelect are being integrated into the
same WINSelect interface. You will have the option
to have WINSelect with the POLICY Tab only or 
WINSelect with the IKIOSK Tab only or WINSelect
with both Tabs.
