ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. General Help for ToDo ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
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.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Workplace Shell ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
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.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Bit maps ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
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.
