═══ 1. General Help for ToDo ═══

ToDo is a sample application developed during a residency hosted by the Boca 
Raton ITSC during October and November 1991.  The objective of this residency 
was as follows: 

 o Develop a methodology for evaluating application development tools for the 
   OS/2 V2.0 Workplace Shell. 
 o Evaluate a number of tools by implementing the sample ToDo application. 

 The support of IPF by the various products is part of the evaluation exercise. 


═══ 2. Workplace Shell ═══

The Workplace Shell is an implementation of the Workplace Environment defined 
by the CUA 91 architecture.  Workplace objects represent physical objects which 
users work with in real life.  These objects are represented graphically by 
icons or bit maps. 


═══ 3. Bit maps ═══

A bit map is an array of data organised into rows and columns in which the bits 
correspond to pixels on a raster output device (normally a screen). A bit map 
can represent either a monochrome or colour image. Bit maps can be created 
using the OS/2 Toolkit's Icon Editor.

 This icon has been defined as ahypergraphic link. Double click on it and see 
 what happens.
