- Prolog
- ~~~~~~
- GUI2BB2 is a tool for GadToolsBox (GTB). GTB is written by Jan
- van den Baard and it is used to create grafic user interfaces for
- programs. The programs then use menus and gadget of the
- gadtools.library, which is included in the AmigaOs since V2.0. In
- this way created user interfaces, can be convert by GTB, into
- ASM-, C- or OBERON-sources. It is also possible to save into a
- kind of IFF-File. The used format has nothing to do with the
- IFF-Grafix-Format ! GUI2BB2 convert this IFF-File into
- BlitzBasicII Sourcecode. It uses the gadtools-commands, wich are
- included since BB2-V1.6
