Are you depressed because you finally get epoch working just the way you want, and now you feel obliged to switch to emacs-19? Are your friends teasing you because your editor doesn't have scrollbars and drop down menus? Or perhaps you think that the emacs widgets are so ugly that you don't want them on your nice color screen? WS is a widget server designed for use with epoch, the X-aware extension to emacs written by the good folks at UIUC. WS provides a drop down menu bar at the top of the epoch screen, and a single scroll bar at the right edge of the screen. The scroll bar moves the currently selected window in the associated screen. Menu commands are normally executed in the context of the screen where you did the menu selection. WS is the Tk wish application extended with a new widget class (XENO). Tk and its companion Tcl provide a flexible environment for Xwindows widget handling. New widgets such as panels, listboxes, etc. may be built in Tk/Tcl and interfaced to epoch via WS. All comments are welcome, on any subject from algorithms to func names. COPYRIGHT: Almost none. I ask that you credit me on this and derivative works. Usage and distribution is unlimited.
