- This drawer contains the developer information of xfdmaster.library v38
- for AmigaE. It differs completly from the old (until 'xfd120.lha') development
- material which still contained the restrictions from version 1.X of AmigaE.
- The actual version is 3.3a and most limitations have been removed.
-
- Notes:
-
- 1. ** VERY IMPORTANT **: When using XFD from Amiga E, note that the
- function calls like "xfdDecrunch" or "xfdRecogBuffer" are now called
- "XfdDecrunch" and "XfdRecogBuffer" (with a capital "X"). This is due
- to a restriction in the E compiler - all library calls must start with
- an upper-case letter. Also note that the library base is called
- "xfdmasterbase" in E, rather than "XFDMasterBase".
- Everything else about XFD is exactly the same as in C or assembler
- (such as constants, macros and so on). If you are confused in any way,
- see the example "XfdTextView.e" source file. This should clarify
- matters.
-
- 2. The included xfdtextview are written by DII and comes with the old
- xfd-package. I could neither find the email-address of DII nor a
- copyright notice. But I hope there are no problems with it.
- I have modified xfdtextview to work with the new xfdmaster-modules and
- added asl-support.
- Note that it still doesn't display TABs properly, but that shouldn't
- matter.
- ** IMPORTANT **: The scrollwindow-class from the AmigaE v3.3
- distribution always crashes my machine. I have included the old ones
- in EModules/class. If you have problems you should install this files.
-
- 3. Please remember that BOTH the files called "xfdmaster.m" are necessary
- for Amiga E to use XFD, and should both be included in any E XFD
- distribution. "EModules/xfdmaster.m" contains the function pragmas,
- while "EModules/libraries/xfdmaster.m" contains all the structures and
- constants (like xfdmaster.i or xfdmaster.h).
-
-
- The original text was written by DII and slightly changed by Georg Hoermann.
- I reused some parts of it.
