=========================================================
DIRT - Design In Real Time
An X User Interface Builder
Second Alpha Release
dirt.A2.n.tar.Z (where "n" is a number denoting the patchlevel) contains the
Alpha.2 release of my X user interface builder.
The file dirt.PS.Z contains just a PostScript copy of the Dirt User Manual
(which is also in the full distribution).
This builder allows the interactive creation and rapid prototyping of X user
interfaces using the X Toolkit and a number of Widget Sets. Dirt generates
"Wc - Widget Creation" resource files and this distribution also includes the
Widget Creation Library (version 1.06, with the exception of the demos and
Mri/Ari source code) with the kind permission of its author David E. Smyth.
Dirt does not contain a UI programming language and therefore has certain
"dynamic" limitations compared with other user interface systems. However it
has the advantage that objects are simple to create and manipulate using
direct manipulation techniques often found in modern drawing editors.
The use of "Wc" allows some UI dynamics to be specified interactively and
makes dirt slightly more than a UI Layout Editor.
Dirt will now work with X11R4 or X11R5. Dirt requires X11 Release 4
with all 18 published patches installed (i.e. it will not work without
the patched Xt Intrinsics). See the README in the distribution details
on building and installing Dirt.
Currently Dirt supports the Athena Widget Set, my (Xukc) Widget Set and
the 2-D HP Widget Set. In future releases I plan to support both the
Motif(TM) and OPEN LOOK(TM) Widget Sets (Xt Intrinsics allowing).
Addition of single widget classes is straightforward and typically only
requires an additional entry in an internal table (see
./Dirt/dirt_editor/DOC/add_classes.txt).
