Some of us in the MIT Amiga User's Group are interested in writing a
set of library functions to go on top of the Intuition and graphics libraries
to make it somewhat easier to develop applications on the Amiga. The
standard libraries are very powerful, but it takes quite a bit of work to
understand how they work at first. For example, we might have a function
make_window() that takes a few parameters, such as the size and location,
and then creates a basic vanilla window.
We are interested in providing this kind of library for windows, screens,
graphics, sound, and so on. The point of all this? What kinds of functions
should be in such a library? What are important primitive operations for
basic applications?
Please reply through mail (using one of the addresses below) -- if there is
sufficient interest in hearing about the responses or our project, I will
summarize to the net.
Thanks,
Win Treese
