Target systems : : STDWIN is aimed at C programs. It consists of a few header files (of : which only one is visible to the user) and a library. In most cases : some system-provided libraries must also be used in the linking phase. : : Currently, full STDWIN is available for the following environments: : : (Note that in all cases the code is in beta test state; there may be : bugs, functionality may change slightly in the future and new : functionality may be added, but the basic framework isn't going to : change much.) : : * X version 11 release 2 : * Apple Macintosh using either LightspeedC (2.15) or MPW C (2.02) : * Atari ST using Mark Williams C (2.1) : * Whitechapel MG-1 running an old version of 4.2 BSD : : You may volunteer to create a version for your favourite system, or to : port it to your favourite C compiler for one of the mentioned micros. : : A subset emulating most of STDWIN's functionality on an alphanumeric : display (this excludes line drawing but includes windows, menus, text : editing etc.) is available for: : : * Any decent Unix that has termcap (tested with 4.{2,3} BSD) : * MS-DOS using the Microsoft C compiler (4.0) : : : 2. Getting the full scoop : : I have written a paper about STDWIN which has been published as a : CWI report (Guido van Rossum: STDWIN -- A Standard Window System : Interface. Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science, report : CS-R8817. Amsterdam, 1988). You might get a copy mailed to you by : politely asking our secretary, Marja Hegt <marja@cwi.nl: . : : You can also get a source version for any or all of the above-mentioned : systems. This is essentially a directory dump of my working version, : until I have the time or get some help to prepare a real distribution. : It is available through anonymous ftp access to gatekeeper.dec.com, : whose IP address is [128.45.9.52]. The directory is pub/stdwin; get : the file README for further instructions. A version of the document : you're currently reading is in the file ABOUT. : : Distribution outside the USA is solely by electronic mail. Be prepared : to receive up to half a megabyte (in 50K pieces, tarred/ compressed/ : uuencoded/ split). If you're interested, write to: : guido@cwi.nl.
