Apollo Computer Inc. offers its portable Text Management Library
(TMLib) and Character Set Manager (CSM) through anonymous FTP
at /contrib on expo. The compressed tar archive is
apollo_tmlib_csm.tar.Z
The three directories are
doc - ASCII and PostScript versions of two manuals for TMLib,
a TMLib Call reference and a Programming Guide
src - source files for TMLib and the CSM and a Makefile to
build and install:
libcsmgr.a - the CSM (standalone version)
libtmlib.x.a - TMLib (includes the CSM)
libtmlclib.a - C programmer's interface to TMLib.
examples - source for two example programs running under X,
and a Makefile to build them.
TMLib and the CSM are written in C++, with graphic system interface in C.
Programmers do NOT need C++ to use TMLib. A C interface for the CSM will
be available shortly.
TMLib is a toolkit for building text applications. The CSM handles problems
related to character sets. It is incorporated into TMLib and also exists
as a standalone library.
Please see the Call Reference for detailed description of classes and calls;
see the Programming Guide for more general information and a tutorial
approach. We recommend that you use the PostScript versions of the manuals,
particularly the Programming Guide as it contains many explanatory diagrams.
