Archive-name: languages/smalltalk/mode/1991-06-12 Archive-directory: st.cs.uiuc.edu:/pub/st80_pre4/MoDE/ [128.174.241.10] Original-posting-by: shan@washington.cs.unc.edu (Yen-Ping Shan) Original-subject: MoDE available -- ftp Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) Thanks to Ralph Johnson and Bill Voss, MoDE is now available via the University of Illinois's Smalltalk Archive (st.cs.uiuc.edu). I am sorry about the problems many of you had with the ftp service of UNC (they are in the process of changing the ftp server). Hope this would be more convenient for you. MoDE is a UIMS (user interface management system) for Smalltalk. For short introductions, please see my papers in OOPSLA'89 and '90. The PostScript file MoDE.ps, included in the archive, contains detail information of the system. It is strongly recommended that you also request the videotape of MoDE from textlab@cs.unc.edu (free of charge). This is a prototype. The image is frozen in July of 1990. Currently there is no support for it. Many improvements and bug fixes have been made in a follow-up project. Lacking a better name, let's name it "MoDE II" for the time being. MoDE II is designed to be portable between Smalltalk 80 (both R2.5 and R4.0) and Smalltalk/V. It has an open architecture for including native applications. We had some initial success in including X applications to be treated as modes. MoDE II also makes use of native capabilities when possible. For example, in the PM implementation, it uses the PM transformation functions instead of computing them inside Smalltalk. The general availability of MoDE II has yet to be decided. ---Shan--- -- comp.archives file verification st.cs.uiuc.edu total 1955 -rw-r--r-- 1 src 1726 Jun 12 08:41 README -rw-r--r-- 1 src 231 Jun 12 08:39 CATALOG-CARD -rw-r--r-- 1 src 1390886 Jun 10 18:11 MoDE.ps -rw-r--r-- 1 src 452 Feb 22 13:27 COPYRIGHT -rw-r--r-- 1 src 19940 Feb 22 13:25 Windowing-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 38311 Feb 22 13:25 TestSNA-Lin.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 12052 Feb 22 13:25 TrackingReplay-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 35817 Feb 22 13:25 TestMVC-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 3469 Feb 22 13:25 Temporary-User.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 9498 Feb 22 13:25 Scroll-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 25361 Feb 22 13:25 SEE-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 5972 Feb 22 13:25 Resize-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 3150 Feb 22 13:25 Recovery-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 4947 Feb 22 13:25 PollingEnvModes-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 55629 Feb 22 13:25 Modes-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 14482 Feb 22 13:25 NetworkMode-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 34497 Feb 22 13:25 ModeEdit-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 18963 Feb 22 13:25 ModeComposer-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 28834 Feb 22 13:25 Menu-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 7775 Feb 22 13:25 MMSOuterEnv-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 375 Feb 22 13:25 InputSensor_class-install.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 6279 Feb 22 13:25 ITLibrary-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 148921 Feb 22 13:24 Forms-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 27127 Feb 22 13:24 Examples-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 17938 Feb 22 13:24 EventTest-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 30637 Feb 22 13:24 DispObj-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 8635 Feb 22 13:24 Comms-Shan.st -rw-r--r-- 1 src 12175 Feb 22 13:24 3DGame-Shan.st found mode ok st.cs.uiuc.edu:/pub/st80_pre4/MoDE/
