Sample Files in the WIMP2001 Demonstration Program
The sample files included with the WIMP2001 Demonstration program
have been changed to allow their full use. The file "ALPHABET.NFT"
has been replaced by "ALPH_LO.NFT" and "ALPH_UP.NFT", seperating
the upper and lowercase alphabet to bring this file within the 50
atom limit of the demonstration program. The files "1OBJECT.NFT"
and "8OBJECT.NFT" were replaced by a new "1OBJECT.NFT" and
"3OBJECT.NFT" to reduce their atom count to <50. All entries in the
sample library "WIMPLATE.W11" are now 50 atoms or less.
Using the SlideShow Manager Dialog
Clicking on the SlideShow button in the Library manager dialog
box produces the Slideshow manager dialog. In this the following
are visible:
1. A list of all structures in the current library. Each
structure is proceeded by its number (zero is the first).
2. A list of commands in the current script file.
3. An Edit box containing the command corresponding to the first
command of the script.
4. A series of push buttons for saving and playing the script:
a. Quit. This exits, doing nothing.
b. Play. This plays the currnt script, regardless of any
changes made.
c. Save and Quit. This saves the current script as the named
file and exits.
d. Save and play. This saves the script and then plays the so-
saved slideshow.
e. New Script. This allows us to change scripts. It is this
dialog that is invoked when we first click on Slideshow. We are
asked for the name of a script file. If the file doesn't exist a
new file is created and preloaded with the command 'a'. If the
named file already exists, it becomes the current script.
f. Restart. This cancels any changes to the script and
restarts the editing dialog.
Clicking on a command in the script listing causes it to be
hilighted and transferred to the little edit-box at the right
where we may edit it. After editing we may click on any of the
following action-pushbuttons.
a. Delete Cmd. The current hilighted command is deleted.
b. Insert Cmd. The (perhaps edited) command in the edit box is
inserted in front of the hilighted command.
c. Replace Cmd. This replaces the hilighted command with that
one in the edit box.
The basic idea of all this is that we select a command, edit
it, and the click on replace. An initially empty script may be
filled by typing a command in the edit box, clicking on Insert,
etc. We should also note that any text processor may be used to
make a script, For example Windows' own wimpy NOTEPAD.EXE is
perfectly adequate. The only reason I put the SCRIPT FIXER-UPPER
in there is for convenience in making minor changes.
Enjoy.
