Using the Gadget editor
----------------------
NOTE: This version works ONLY with DOS 1.2.
1. Type "EGad" the (gadget editor name) from CLI. You may optionally follow
the command with a number of bitplanes to use for the screen and window
(default is 2 - a normal workbench screen, max is 4 for 16 color medium
resolution screens). The editor will open up a window and screen of the
specified depth.
2. Select Gadget type: BOOLEAN, PROPORTIONAL, or STRING.
3. Next select the ACTIVATION flags from the Activation menu. Also select
the gadget flags from the FLAGS menu. (See the Intuition manual for
descriptions of the flags and their meanings.)
4. If you chose a PROPGADGET, then select the PropInfo flags in the Right
most menu.
5. Using the RIGHT mouse button, Draw out the Gadget rectangle to the
desired size, and make as many as you need. You will be prompted to
type in a gadget name for each gadget you draw.
6. Pull down the "Utility menu" and choose "Add gadget" to actually
connect them into the window.
7. If you want to edit images for the gadget, click on the gadget you
you want to modify and then select "Edit Gadget Image"
in the Utility menu. A requester will ask you to name it. The name
will be the name of the C source image. When you have finished editing
the image, select "Return Image" from the image editor "Project" menu,
and you will be returned to the main gadget editor and the image installed
in the selected gadget.
9. You may also edit the "Select image" same as "Edit Gadget Image".

12. Select "Save as source" from the file menu to generate C data structure
initializations which you can include in a program.
It is important that you understand that this is an "Alpha" release
and is not the final version. It IS in the stage where it can be a useful
tool and valuable time saver.
Please report any bugs you find, or better yet, fix them yourself
(Source code is provided). The gt.l file is a Batch file that links
all necessary modules, but is tailored for the ASDG board. An AZTEC
makefile is also provided.
Please report bugs to "net" conference on the WELL. I think it's topic
