GUI2BB2
------------------------------------------------------------------
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

filenames. Under the "?" buttons, you find ASL-Requesters to
choose the filenames.

standard-gui-file will be created, before starting GTB.
With the "Convert" button, you start the converting of GUI-File
