- 1. What is S∙W∙O∙R∙D ?
- ----------------------
-
- SWORD means System of Windows for the ORganisation of the Desktop.
- It is a Graphic User Interface (GUI) made with C++ objects, and
- it is accessible with Turbo C++ and GNU C++ (djgpp).
- It provides to the programmer all objects that are necessary to
- implement a nice and intuitive GUI. With Sword, all your programs will
- look as nice as NeXT interface. Thanks to object oriented programming,
- this interface is very easy to program.
- The basic concepts behind the objects in SWORD are :
- -> Linked lists (or in fact linked trees)
- -> Events mecanism
- -> Efficient way of managing overlapping windows
-
