- OpenWindows Developer's Guide 3.0
-
- SunFLASH Vol 36 #10 December 1991
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - DevGuide 3.0 enables the design, edit and test of an
- OPEN LOOK GUI without writing a single line of code
-
- - Enables easy internationalization and localization of applications
-
- - Supports the XView, OLIT and TNT toolkits
-
- - One OPEN LOOK builder allows developers to choose toolkits and
- languages
-
-
- On October 30, SunSoft, a Sun Microsystems Incorporated Business, announced
- availability of the OpenWindows Developer's Guide 3.0. SMCC will begin
- shipping this release on December 16.
-
- Application developers are under increasing pressure to quickly deliver
- new products. OpenWindows Developer's Guide enables software engineers
- to graphically and interactively design, edit and test an OPEN LOOK user
- interface without writing a single line of code. Engineers are able to
- concentrate on their application code versus the user interface code.
- DevGuide 3.0 supports the XView, Olit and TNT toolkits allowing developers
- to choose the toolkit which best fits their needs.
-
- DevGuide 3.0 has incorporated many new features. Internationalization and
- localization of an application's GUI is significantly eased through use
- of DevGuide. A new graphical connection scheme, interface browser,
- project manager and object layout facility are also new in DevGuide 3.0.
- DevGuide also facilitates integration with the online help facility and
- the OPEN LOOK drag and drop feature.
-
- DevGuide is a key component to Sun's developer strategy. An OPEN LOOK GUI
- builder eases the porting burden for ISV and end user developers thus making
- the Sun platform more attractive to new applications.
-

- QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
- ---------------------
-
- Q: Are DevGuide 1.1 GIL files compatible with DevGuide 3.0?
-
- A: Yes. Any work done with the previous release of
- DevGuide is compatible with release 3.0.
-
- Q: Will SunSoft sell DevGuide to other SPARC vendors?
-
- A: Yes, SunSoft is chartered with promoting this product to all SPARC
- platforms. DevGuide helps bring applications to the SPARC platform
- and more applications on the SPARC platform will increase demand
- for both SPARC hardware and Solaris software.
-
- Q: What is internationalization and localization?
-
- A: It is Sun's goal to enable software vendors to deliver a single
- binary to any country. Internationalization and localization are the
- processes which must be applied to an application to enable a single
- binary to work in any foreign language environment. DevGuide eases
- this process for the GUI portion of the application.
