- XL -- X{CMD,FCN} Library
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- XL is a library that makes it easier for you to call XCMD or XFCN resources
- written for HyperCard from your programs. XL emulates the application independent
- callbacks, which is sufficient already for many XCMDs to run. Additionally,
- your application can provide its own routines to implement application dependent
- callbacks.
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- To use XL, you need MPW C 3.2 or later.

- COPYING

-
- Permission is granted to anyone to use this software for any purpose on any
- computer system, and to redistribute it freely, subject to the following
- restrictions:
-
- - The author is not responsible for the consequences of use of this software,
- no matter how awful, even if they arise from defects in it.
- - The origin of this software must not be misrepresented, either by explicit
- claim or by omission.
- - Altered versions must be plainly marked as such, and must not be misrepresented
- as being the original software.
-
- WHERE TO BEGIN
-
- You should probably start with looking at XLTest.c. An example of a big application
- that uses XL is MacPerl. The code that calls XL is in macperl.c in the MacPerl source
- distribution.
-
- BUGS, QUESTIONS, SUGGESTIONS
-
- Please report any problems you experience with the code or the documentation to
- me. I'd also be interested in hearing about your success stories, if you have
- any.
-
- FUTURE PLANS
-
- I have no idea how popular the idea of XL will be and how useful XL is in
- implementing it. I would appreciate feedback by email. A future version might
- support better documentation and the HyperCard 2 routines (including some
- interface to the external windows features).
