Egad is the gadget editor that never worked and was not ever used a lot to my knowledge. I have a cobbled version that would compile under lattice 3.0?. The coding style was incompatible with my brain so i abandoned it. Anyway if you want to see it, such as it was last november, it is at louie.udel.edu, in the pub directory, in compressed tar format. The final straw was that from some reason it would not get left-mouse-button events. Strange. I was also fighting 3.0? problems; i finally gave up and bought power windows (which i have hardly used, but that's another story). If egad worked it would be a pretty good tool. ron

I beleive the problem with EGad was that it was never really finished. If I recall correctly, it was a project instituted by Captain Crunch on the Well, and was a group project by a bunch of programmer's that hung out on the Well. Unfortunately, in the final phase of programming, the Captain ran into a few, um, well, legal problems (if memory serves) and I don't think the project was ever carried to completion. The version out now is pretty much a beta version, and the final debugging was never completed. At least, I think that's the way things went, according to my sometimes vague memorys.

Like, they rolled their own linked lists instead of using the very nice Amiga-style linked lists. Overall, the program does not have the feel of a good fit to the amiga. Maybe they did not have a good manual set ... I heard Crunch's machine got confiscated, for no good reason, and he came back to life on a MAC. Rumor had it that he build a much better version of egad on the MAC. But who needs anything like egad when you have HyperCard? the work is all done for you... ron -- ron (rminnich@udel.edu)
