About...

I was thinking about the beauty of the NeXT one day and how nice it
is to have an object oriented development environment as rich as
NeXTStep and the Appkit. I wanted to get some programming in and
thought I would write a new class that others could benefit from.

I have thrown together a quick application that demonstrates the class
and have put it on the 'cs.orst.edu' ftp archive in the directory
pub/next/demos and pub/next/classes. (If you don't understand how to
use anonymous ftp send me mail and I will help you out.)

The class is a rather simple one. It implements a sliding scale to
show the user how much of a process is done. This would be ideal for
showing the number of lines compiled in a program, the amount of a
file that has been processed, etc. It is a subclass of the View class
and is rather easy to set up and has many different options and looks.
Run the five samples in the main window to get a feeling for what the
Percent class can do. (My favorite is the third one.)

Order Info...

I am not charging for this demo or for the Percent Class but a
donation would certainly be appreciated (I have many loan payments
left on my cube.) I would like to keep track of who all is using the
Percent Class so to get a hold of the header file and the object file
send mail to "jasmerb@cs.orst.edu" and I will send you a starter kit.
