Toolbox Modules

by Acorn Computers

The Toolbox is a feature of Acorn's latest program development environment released recently as part of the C/C++ package. The Toolbox provides resources to make the implementation of Wimp programs simpler for the programmer.

The modules supplied here are those required to run the DeskFont application. The techniques of using the Toolbox are described in the article A Closer Look at the Toolbox, part two of which is in this month's RISC User magazine.

The modules must be transferred to your System directory before they can be used. Running the item from the RISC User menu system opens a window containing a directory entitled Toolbox and a module entitled TinyStubs. These should be placed together within your !System.310.Modules directory.

On a Risc PC, the System directory can be found within the Boot application, as !Boot.Resources.!System. On earlier Archimedes machines, the System directory will probably be located in the root directory of the hard disc.

The modules included are as follows:

   FontMenu	0.17
   Iconbar		1.12
   Menu		0.24
   ProgInfo		0.09
   Toolbox		1.36
   Window		1.31

   TinyStubs		0.02
