- the doug rogers window library
- ------------------------------
-
- This C language library was created and is maintained by:
-
- Doug Rogers phone: 703-893-2007
- Innovative Concepts, Inc.
- 8200 Greensboro Dr.
- Suite 801
- McLean, VA 22101
-
- It has been used extensively at ICI and many refinements have been
- made based on real-world considerations. Doug has never previously
- released it outside of ICI, but has graciously consented to my
- doing so with the following caveats:
-
- 1) This software is presented "as is". Neither Doug, nor I, make
- any representations as to its suitability for any given
- purpose. You're getting it for free, and you get what you pay
- for. (Although, actually, in this case you get TONS more
- than you pay for)
-
- 2) This software is copyright(c) 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992 by
- Doug Rogers. You may share it freely and may distribute
- object code containing it without restriction. You may NOT
- sell it for profit withtout the express, written, consent of
- Mr. Rogers, and you may NOT distribute modified versions.
-
- That said, I would like to point out that I've asked Doug to let me
- put this out on the boards because I've found it to be a very easy to
- use windowing and mouse system. It also has many capabilities beyond
- those I've used (for example, complex math functions) as you will
- see when you explore it.
-
- I've tried several windowing systems from the boards and have not
- found any of them to be as useful as Doug's. This library is not for
- amateurs, however. Since Doug and most of his collegues at ICI are
- "power users", he has never bothered with extensive documentation.
- I have not found this to be a problem, since the block comments at
- the beginning of each function combined with the highly rational
- organization of the functions make it simple enough to figure out
- how to use them.
-
- I have broken everything up into the following .ZIP files, for the
- convenience of downloaders. I don't recommend drwin301 unless you
- are sure you will want the tiny or huge model libraries.
- Personally, I've never found any use for either of them, but they
- are included for completeness. If you are confident about using
- .MAK files and creating libraries, then you can create drwin201.zip
- and drwin301.zip yourself. Doug's .MAK files are included. The .ZIP
- files are:
-
- drwin101.zip this is the main file. It has all of the source
- code and the include files, plus the C++ source
- mentioned earlier, plus some other bits and pieces.
- It also contains the large library file. This file
- contains EVERYTHING except for the other library
- files which are included in the other two .zip
- files described below.
-
-
- drwin201.zip contains the small, compact, and medium model
- libraries.
- drwin301.zip contains the tiny and huge model libraries
-
- Please note the numeric sequence. If/when there are substantial
- changes to the library, warranting a new release, it will consist
- of:
- drwin102.zip
- drwin202.zip
- drwin302.zip
-
- Enjoy.
