Hm, slang is actually amazingly easy to program for, it has a nice - simple IO model. Keyboard handling is quite simple too. If you need anything on that I can certainly help. There is a mostly complete slang doc that I found in the slang sources that is good for getting started. After that just look in the headers for the functions you want. If you desperately want overlapping windows/menus etc then maybe you'd be interested in the slightly finished APT widget library that does do this. But there is even less documentation : Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
slang, newt, whiptail
hi all, i am about to write an easy to use editor, using slang ... (remember this ugly emacs/vi discussion) i started with slang and noticed that there is nearly no documentation and no good screen/kbd support at all. so i tried newt. this one seems to bring it everything. but there is no documenation at all. and it's optimized for use with dialogs (editfields, OKbutton and the like). no applicationmenues or simple windows overlapping each other. it's written for use with whiptail. so i expected to find documentation there. but i didn't find SOURCE OF WHIPTAIL at all, what's going on there?? -- see header -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
