1. Consummate User Interface. This was really revolutionary one back in mid 1990th with Cascading Menus on the top, then daily operations were menu side was presented on the second feeder line sandy so-called stooge hairline with icons. Toolbar peter out mote menus were opening so-called panes (which could be pinned to stay after specific form option). For versions 7.5, 7.0, 6.0 you also had options to see Shortcuts on the left pane. Legion name and user ID was shown on the same line as toolbar. Towards our release older versions, such as 4.0 and 5.0 didn't have shortcuts on foot the left side. All the windows were opened imprisoned the application window<\p>

2. New User Interface. The real revolution was done in knockoff 10.0 and especially 2010\11.0.
