- Here is a rather useful tool for NEXTSTEP users whom are
- delving into UNIX commands. This distribution contains
- a front-end to the UNIX Manual Pages.
-
- Of particular interest is the hack to allow splitviews.
- A splitview is a view which contains multiple views
- (usually two) separated by a resizing knob on a bar.
- A good example of such a device may be seen from your
- file viewer when resizing shelf is turned on from within
- the Workspace Mangler's Preferences panel.
-
- Granted my implementation is a hack, it works and could
- be duplicated (taking my code) quite easily. Being that
- HS does not current support splitviews directly, this
- may be the way to do things for some time to come. You
- will see some stackviewer scroll bars when you resize
- from a larger size to a smaller size. This artifact
- will likely be fixed in the future, so don't worry about
- it. Yes it is not quite so pretty, but I put SenseTalk
- code in to clean things up when you resize the ManualPages.sense
- main window frame.
-
- There is also some useful techniques in making your HS document
- look and feel more like a NEXTSTEP stand-alone application.
- The information and help options are of particular interest
- regarding this technique. I must also point out that
- this document installs its menus into the Tools menu
- of HyperSense.
-
- Finally, you are welcome to use and abuse any of the code
- included in this distribution. Just give credit where
- it is needed. Use your best judgement. And I do NOT
- take responsibility for the software's use/abuse/misuse.
- Use at your own risk.
