For about 9 months I have been using a skeleton Lisa Pascal
program called SKEL to teach people how to write Macintosh
applications. The aim of the program is to do very little
(events, menus, a window with dragging and growing, desk
accessories, modal dialog box, icons) but to do it well and
cleanly, in a way that remains correct in larger programs.
SKEL contains directions for self-study. It is easily
digested, being rather short. It can be compiled under Workshop
2.0 or 3.0.
You are welcome to use and abuse SKEL, so long as that use is
not for commercial purposes. I would appreciate it if
significant revisions were sent back to me for incorporation.
I am posting to net.sources on USENET the source code SKEL,
the resource definition file SKELR, and the Lisa EXEC file SKELX,
which will perform all necessary steps to produce on running
program on an inserted floppy.
