[comp.sys.mac] TransSkel, TransDisplay, TransEdit

dubois@uwmacc.UUCP (AntiNeophilus) (11/29/86)

I am releasing to the net (the mod sources and binary groups) TransSkel
1.02, TransDisplay 1.0 and TransEdit 1.0.  TransSkel 1.02 is an update
to the original TransSkel transportable application skeleton posted
some months back.  This version fixes a bug, makes some minor
improvements, and (more significantly) supports Zoomboxes and modeless
dialogs.  Zoombox and dialog support was provided by Dave Berry
(well!dwb@lll-lcc.arpa).  I have modified his code slightly, but he
really did the work.  Thanks, Dave!

TransDisplay and TransEdit both run on top of TransSkel.  TransDisplay
provides any number of display-only windows.  These can be used for such
things as help screens or debug output display with memory.  TransEdit
provides any number of generic text editing windows.  Instant editors,
if you will.

The primary goal of each of these efforts is to come up with modules
that do significant things in a relatively appliciation-independent
manner, so that they can be compiled and plugged in.

All of it is free, public domain stuff.

The documentation is formatted using Times Roman 10, 12, 14 and 18 and
Courier 10 fonts.  For ImageWriter printing, the closest fit is
probably to change all the Times Roman instances to the corresponding
New York font, and change all Courier to Monaco-9 (unless you have a
good Monaco-10).  These changes can be made with Font Changer, written
by Tom Dowdy (public domain).
