GNUstep GUI Library ANNOUNCE
|
||
|
|
****************************
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is version 0.1.0 of the GNUstep GUI library (libgnustep-gui).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What is the GNUstep GUI Library?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is a library of graphical user interface classes written completely
|
||
|
|
in the Objective-C language; the classes are based upon the OPENSTEP(tm)
|
||
|
|
specification as release by NeXT Software, Inc. The library does not
|
||
|
|
completely conform to the specification and has been
|
||
|
|
enhanced in a number of ways to take advantage of the GNU system.
|
||
|
|
These classes include graphical objects such as buttons, text fields,
|
||
|
|
popup lists, browser lists, and windows; there are also many associated
|
||
|
|
classes for handling events, colors, fonts, pasteboards and images.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The design of libgnustep-gui is designed in two parts. The first part is the
|
||
|
|
front-end component which is independent of platform and display system.
|
||
|
|
This front-end is combined with a back-end component which handles all of
|
||
|
|
the display system dependent such as specific calls to X/Windows. This
|
||
|
|
design allows the GNUstep applications to have the "look and feel" of
|
||
|
|
the underlying display system without any changes to the application, and
|
||
|
|
the library can be easily ported to other display systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The GNUstep GUI Library requires the GNU Objective-C compiler, the GNUstep
|
||
|
|
Base Library, and back-end component like the GNUstep X/DPS GUI Backend.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Creators rejoice!

[ Most GNU software is packed using the GNU `gzip' compression program.
|
||
|
|
Source code is available on most sites distributing GNU software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For information on how to order GNU software on tape, floppy or cd-rom, or
|
||
|
|
printed GNU manuals, check the file etc/ORDERS in the GNU Emacs distribution
|
||
|
|
or in GNUinfo/ORDERS on prep, or e-mail a request to: gnu@@prep.ai.mit.edu
|
||
|
|

|
By ordering your GNU software from the FSF, you help us continue to
|
||
|
|
develop more free software. Media revenues are our primary source of
|
||
|
|
support. Donations to FSF are deductible on US tax returns.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The above software will soon be at these ftp sites as well.
|
||
|
|
Please try them before prep.ai.mit.edu as prep is very busy!
