Scalability / Menu Content
- Medium scalability: 100's of entries per single file
- Expandable scalability: runtime index file exchanges
(e.g. for context-sensitive menus)
- Two hierarchical levels available: top level and 2nd level
- Indices may be loaded from external files, server-side scripts,
parameters or client-side scripts
- Database-friendly
- New DBCS-friendly file-reading (of interest to Chinese, Japanese and Korean users)
- 100% XIXL-compatible indices
