- ICONKIT
-
- A Toolbox for Drag-and-Drop Applications
-
- Release 1.2, June 7th, 1994
- (C) 1994 by H. Scott Roy
-
-
- IconKit is an Objective-C class library for building drag-and-drop
- applications. It recreates the shelves, browsers, folders, and suitcases
- that are present throughout the basic NEXTSTEP applications:
-
- - The file browser and shelf in Workspace.
- - The bookshelves in Librarian.
- - The project browser in ProjectBuilder.
- - The suitcases in InterfaceBuilder.
- - The feature browser used to configure a DBTableView.
-
- IconKit contains all the objects one needs to build new applications of this
- kind. It is fully integrated with InterfaceBuilder, providing a palette and
- inspectors for all the IconKit classes. It comes complete with source code,
- documentation, and an example application that mimics the NEXTSTEP Workspace
- file viewer.
-
- IconKit is freely distributable and free for noncommercial use. It costs
- money for a commercial license, but you are allowed to use IconKit get your
- application working before deciding whether to purchase it. The General
- Objectware License that covers this policy is broadly applicable, and other
- developers are encouraged to adopt it for their own software.
-
- IconKit should work on any system running NEXTSTEP 3.0 or later.
