RapidApp Challenge
------------------

Written by Eric Burke 2/96

RapidApp Challenge was originally designed to be a contest to users
within SGI who wanted to learn RapidApp/ViewKit/Motif.  It is a simple
application which does the following:

  - provides a scrolled list for displaying a list of items.
  - provides a text entry to add items to a list
  - provides controls to change the sort order of the list, the font
    of the list, and the selection policy of the list

Menus include:
  File->Open...		Open a file to display in the list
  File->Save		Save to the current file name
  File->Save As...	Change the file name and save the data there
  File->Exit		Quit altogether.  This asks for confirmation.

  Edit->Delete Selected	Delete all selected items from the list
  Edit->Delete All	Delete all items from the list.  This asks for
			confirmation.

This is a very simple application which should provide the user with
the ability to either run "make" in the current directory, or run
"rapidapp contest.uil" to run RapidApp and look at and play around with
the user interface, etc.  It's a great starting point for using
RapidApp 1.2.


Software requirements:
    RapidApp 1.2 (ONLY!!)
    ViewKit_dev
    c++_dev
    motif_dev


* if you have WorkShop.sw.cvstatic loaded, you can uncomment the 

  #SADIR= iltest.cvdb
  #SAFLAG= -sa,$(SADIR)
  #$(OBJECTS):$(SADIR)/cvdb.dbd
  #$(SADIR)/cvdb.dbd :
  #       [ -d $(SADIR) ] || mkdir $(SADIR)
  #       cd $(SADIR); initcvdb.sh
  #
  #LDIRT=$(SADIR) vista.taf

  lines near the bottom of the Makefile.


* make sure you do a "setenv XUSERFILESEARCHPATH ./%N%S" before running
  the program so the app-defaults file is picked up from the current
  directory.  (see contest.sh for a way to invoke/run this from the
  shell.)


How it works:
    Type a string in the text field, hit return, it gets added to the
    list.

    Select any item(s) and choose Edit->Delete Selected, and those items
    go away.

    Choose Edit->Delete All to remove all items from the list.

    Changing the sort order will redisplay the list in the newly
    described order.

    Changing the font will redisplay the list in the newly described 
    font.

    Changing the selection policy will change the list to the new
    selection policy and deselect all items in the list.

    There is a sample data file in the directory called "sample_data".
