Automatic grouping for Lotus Improv - you need the Improv API Toolkit.
The Improv API-Toolkit V 1.0 is free, you can ftp it from most NeXT ftp-sites.
The code was created at the end of 1991 under NS2.1 and recompiled with 3.0, source is included.
This modul allows you to arrange items in groups by the value of a item in another castegory. The ungroup command of this module deletes automaticall any formulars which reference the group.
This code is free, but you have to mention me, when you use this code or parts of it.
I don´t know if anyone still uses Improv on NeXT-Computers and is interested in this stuff.
But I think its time for all of us, espically NeXT, to put some code out to give the word Objectware a meaning.
If you like the code and/or use it frequently, feel free to send me $15.
I wrote a introducing article to the Improv API-Toolkit, which appears in the german mag Workout 4/92 under the title "Entwicklungshilfe für Rechenkuenstler".
I have a lot of other stuff, sorting in categorys, Sybase SQL Interpreter with Improv Interface, and some DB-Kit stuff in alpha-versions. But I currently can't afford to invest much time in unpayed work.
The programming project was stopped in March 1992, because my contacts with Lotus gave me a very bad feeling about the coming support from Improv on NeXT.
Thanks to the german company Xpand (registrated NeXTDeveloper), espically Michael Thun, who recently donated a NeXTstep 3.0 license to me and give me some work in the macintosh area.
