[comp.windows.news] Scroll list class

mh@wlbr.EATON.COM (Mike Hoegeman) (05/12/88)

howdy..
This is part of a larger NeWS forms package that I'm currently building.

I wasn't going to post this till I polished it up some more ( put scroll bars 
in , etc...) but I have to put in a bunch of stuff for interfacing with the
oracle rdbms so it looks like I might not get back to it for awhile so
I'll go ahead and post it now. If anyone actually uses this and has 
suggestions or improvements they've made to it please drop me a note.
to try it out just snip at the marker below and run it through psh.

Sorry about the lack of documentation 

Also , you'll see some cps stuff in here which goes along with
some C-code for use in scrolling BIG chunks of data.  the C-code
uses some code that is not all mine so  I'm not going to post
that unless there's a demand for it.
