- For those not familiar with C Swing, here's an excerpt from the readme file:
-
- SWING is a VAX/VMS utility for displaying the graphic representation of the
- VMS directory structure on any terminal that can support the SMG routines -
- that is primarily the VT100, VT200 and VT300 series of terminals. SWING is
- designed to make life easy for a user who frequently performs directory or
- file operations within his or her directories.
-
- SWING displays the top eight directory levels of the user's directory
- structure. If there are more than eight levels a diamond is displayed in the
- right-most column indicating that there are non-displayed directories.
-
- SWING has a two level help facility. Quick menus are available via the ?
- option. Standard VMS help is available via the H or HELP (LK201) option.
-
- The C language version of SWING was written by Simon Brown, and maintained by
- him through V3.2. It has been modified by many people, and is currently
- maintained primarily by Mats Akerberg, Harry Flowers, and Foteos Macrides.
- Most of the documentation has been rewritten by Chris Butler. Although the
- online help is good, you should read the manual. The re-write was necessary as
- he did not have a Fortran compiler, and felt that C was a more appropriate
- language. Also, colleagues required major enhancements, so the software was
- started from scratch. The result that you see here consumed something in the
- region of 400 to 500 hours of spare time. The software has been placed back in
- the public domain.
-
- As always, we're interested in any bug reports/enhancement requests that you
- might have (not that we promise to fix/implement them ;-), but chances are
- much better if we know about them).
