I think you observation by your friend was incorrect.
Terry Keene of TKI, (MenuMagic) is currently working on several
ports of MenuMagic at this time (AIX for RT for one).
It would be worth your time to give Terry a call directly to
discuss your needs and application.  He is a very competent UNIX
programmer, and is very open to suggestions.
I am familiar with his work from his previous company, and
his previous product ATvanced Office System, which is the
backbone of the new product MenuMagic. (Only much better, and
not a limited menu program as AOS was.).
We are not affiliated with TKI, other that having used their
products for our clients.
I hope this information is useful to the net,
as there seems to be great interest in this
subject for the UNIX world in general.
There seems to be a lot of possible answers, but few
GOOD solutions.
