Re: [MiNT] WCOWORK Alternatives - long post warning



Hello,

Ok, what do you propose? What features do you want?

Expandability!   Possibility of a work-area-origin drawing system in the
future without another damn mode!   If we are gonna move forward, I want
to go all the way and allow LOTS of features.

Yes :)

What are your suggestions for improvements in a new AES? How would you
change the window API in an AES so that programming it would be
easier? Lets hear your proposals!

Let me jump in and make my own suggestions.  This is just a rough
outline off the top of my head based on what people have been saying on
the strengths and benefits of WCOWORK, and the need for a more modeless
operation, and my own wants for something that can be expanded however
we need it.  Feedback welcome as its taken me a couple hours to write!

Do you know windom ?

If you remove the GEMDOS handle idea and the ZERO_COORD idea (because of the lack of offscreen) and go further with the GUI and add some more usefull functionality for the programmer, then you get today windom library.

Agree on most of your post :)


best regards,
Arnaud.
