Now that we seem to be sending in "hello world" for our favourite
window programming system, here's mine for "STDWIN".  No preprocessing
needed, just compile and link with the appropriate libraries.  STDWIN is
not a window system in its own right; it is a toolbox which interfaces
to several existing window systems.  Versions exist for: Whitechapel
MG-1, X version 11, Apple Macintosh, Atari ST (soon), and (a text-only
subset) for ASCII terminals supported by termcap.  Inquire at address
below.

/* The "Hello, world" koan according to David Rosenthal,
   recoded for STDWIN.
   Requirements: print "Hello, world" centered in a window,
   recented after window resizes, redraw after window exposures.
   Check error returns. */

#include <stdwin.h>

char *string= "Hello, world";

int text_h, text_v;

placetext(win)
	WINDOW *win;
{
	int width, height;
	wgetwinsize(win, &width, &height);
	text_v= (height - wlineheight()) / 2;
	text_h= (width - wtextwidth(string, -1)) / 2;
}

drawproc(win, left, top, right, bottom)
	WINDOW *win;
{
	wdrawtext(text_h, text_v, string, -1);
}

main()
{
	WINDOW *win;
	winit();
	win= wopen("Hello", drawproc);
	
	if (win != 0) {
		placetext(win);
		for (;;) {
			EVENT e;
			wgetevent(&e);
			if (e.type == WE_COMMAND &&
				(e.u.command == WC_CLOSE ||
				 e.u.command == WC_CANCEL))
				break;
			if (e.type == WE_SIZE)
				placetext(win);
		}

	wdone();
	exit(0);
