- Hello all!
- I think that my question will have a trivial answer in Khoros 2.0, but
- in the meantime, I would like to know if the following scenario is
- feasible in Khoros 1.5.
- I want to develop an X application using the tools available in
- Khoros currently, in other words I want to write an xvroutine, and after
- going through all the steps of writing the user interface and installing
- the new code I would like to give my user only the minimum necessary so
- that they can execute the application. They don't even need to run it
- from Cantata. (I need to do this because they don't have enough space for
- all Khoros.)
- Is it correct to assume that I will only need to give them the
- following? the application, the libraries xvforms and xvgraphics, a few other
- vroutines (or hybrid) that I might need, for example putimage.
- Am I missing something? For instance it's not clear to me what
- else is needed for the manual pages and the documentation of the
- vroutines that do not belong to my application. How much space would be
- needed in this scenario? (i.e how big is the Khoros portion that I
- need for doing this?)
-
- On a very related note, the way to define a GUI is: use an editor
- to add the appropriate lines in the .form UIS file, test each pane
- with preview, and then test the complete interface after following the
- steps specified in the conductor manual. In other words there is no
- other tool similar to composer that will generate the UIS lines for
- the .form file, right?
-
- Thanks in advance for your answers,
- Soraya Abad-Mota.
