- This zipfile contains two items, probably interesting to different
- groups of people:
-
- For C++ programmers of OS/2:
-
- Included is a simple but functional set of control classes for handling
- spin buttons, radio buttons, entry fields, listboxes, comboboxes, and
- sliders. Not everything you might want is here, but enough for simple
- applications. Please use them freely, and modify them at will. If
- you make any substantial improvements, I'd like a copy for my own use.
- Who knows -- perhaps this can grow into something truly useful to many
- programmers. They all seem to work fine under gcc/2 2.5.4
- Also, the complete application (described below) has PM graphics, and
- printer support. All comes with full source, which is hereby placed in
- the Public Domain.
-
-
-
- For Woodworkers with OS/2:
-
- A simple dovetail design program (using the above control libraries) is
- included. It allows for some flexibility in spacing the pins/tails, and
- will print a template from which you can copy the design to your project.
- I wrote this for my own use in hand cutting dovetails and find it quite
- useful.
-
- It works fine on my HP Laserjet printer. It SHOULD work on whatever
- the default printer is on your system. If not, please let me know and
- I might try to fix it. Currently it is limited (when printing) to
- print at most a 10" long design (since that will fit on one page). If
- there is much interest in printing longer designs, I can make it print
- in halves up to 20 inches. I won't until I need it, or enough of you
- tell me you'd like it.
-
- To install, just unzip this file (which you no doubt have done). To
- run the program you only need dove.exe -- you can discard the rest.
- Then run it. It will create a file "dovetail.dat" in your current directory
- and store your designs in there.
-
- Please use these and distribute this program/source code freely.
