Hi
I wonder if you could possible help me.
I am a student studying computer science at Liverpool University in the
UK. I have been given a project to do concerning creating a students
admission procedure amd linking to a database. Our supervisor informs us
that we should use the VIB tool to build the interface.
My problem is that although I have bought the Icon book "The Icon
Programming Language" and have ordered the "Graphics programming in
Icon" i am struggling for information especially small simple programs
using VIB. I like to use VIB i find it very easy to create nice looking
interface.s
My problem is linking code to the VIB generated source code. For example
a have creaated a simple interface that opens and displays a file.
However although I have used to code supplied in the book I cannot get
it to save the displayed file as another name. Also I am unsure of how I
should print a file - (program must work on unix and win95.
To get to the crux of the matter what I am asking is if you could send
me any simple programs which uses the VIB interface as this would help
me enormously. I have searched th online documentation but cannot find
any such programs.
Thanks
