Description: AtMenu is a utility which implements the functionality of the Apple Menu of MacOS on Atari systems.

After startup the Fuji logo (Atari's well known trademark) is displayed in the menu bar. By clicking on in a popup appears which displays the contents of the AtMenu folder and its sub-directories. If an item is selected the corresponding program or file will be opened by the desktop.

For fast access to often used programs, folders and files you may create links to them in the AtMenu folder. This way it is very easy to tell AtMenu what it should display in its popup.

As an option submenus for the controlpanels, a list of recently used files (using the Document-History protocol therefore) and a submenu containing all available drives may be displayed.

Supports the XSSI cookie which is used by several screen savers.
