-
- TSDWIN.LIB, an Interface Library specifically designed to be
- used with Clipper 5.01, is being developed and distributed
- through the Shareware concept.
-
- TSDWIN is a Clipper programming tool designed to allow
- the user to create a complex user interface with minimum
- effort. TSDWIN does not interfere with the specific design of
- any application. TSD Ltd. makes every attempt to ensure that
- the programmer has complete control over the design of his
- interface. TSDWIN just frees the task from much of the
- everyday book-keeping.
-
- All its functions are configurable by the programmer. The
- library ensures consistency of various video components
- (colour, cursor shape and position, window border, window
- shadow, headers and footers, fill characters) with any function
- call to the library. It also makes any standard Clipper output
- function available through a library function call to ensure
- proper colour and screen/window placement on the display.
-
- TSDWIN is a granular library. The 'Kernel' functions, which are
- necessary in order to use the minimum capabilities of TSDWIN,
- occupy about 23K. Any other functions are linked only if
- called. TSDWIN uses the so-called 'object' structure which
- became possible with the array capabilities introduced in
- Clipper 5.0. However, in order that Clipper programmers can
- make the transition easily, TSDWIN function calls are done in
- the normal manner.
-
- TSDWIN makes use of several 'C' and 'ASM' routines to speed
- processing. There are several extra classes included which are
- derived from the window class. Three different types of
- messaging functions are available through calls to the
- functions in the Message, Area Message and Alert Message
- classes. The Alert message class forms part of a DialogBox
- Class to be released in early fall. That class will attempt to
- make Windows 3.0 operating methods ( both keyboard and mouse )
- available in a simple way to Clipper programmers. While the
- interface will be text mode, the default methods for user
- manipulation will be familiar to Windows 3.x users.
-
- In TSDWIN V2.00 the window kernel has been extensively changed.
- You can now write to windows before displaying them allowing
- the appearance of very fast operation. Provision has been made
- for hiding and unhiding windows and closing windows anywhere on
- the stack. Many other new functions have been added to allow
- you to deal more effectively with your user interface. TSDWIN
- V2.00 includes over 450 functions, in Clipper, 'C' and ASM.
-
- TSDWIN can be purchased as follows:
-
- a. Library only. ($95.00 US)
- b. MAXI functions source ( Functions which
- make calls to the kernel ) ($50.00 US)
- c. Printed Documentation ($20.00 US)
