Hi! I am happy to announce version 2.30 of Sword. What is Sword? It is a Graphical User Interface library for DOS (DJGPP/C++). I have uploaded a SAMPLE program too (binary). Please test it to help me to fix bugs. What has been changed? # new TMenuBar object # improved Menu - now you can change settings in the menu # The maximize-button has functionality now. # new TClock object - which shows time, date and remaining memory # heavily improved setup system # support of windows/menus in windows (slow) # new phase window # command line options support # using latest GRX 2.4.7 pre 2 # many bugfixes and improvements It needs an updated version of GRX 2.4.7. pre beta. It will be available on my homepage as long as it isn't downloadable at the official GRX site. SWORD, Sample program and updated GRX can be downloaded from: http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0225895/sword/ There you will also find more info. If you have a question, bug fix or additional code please contact me. Development will be much slower now, because i am busy with study. But it won't stop ;-) Bye, Flo <http://www.drdos.org>

[SWORD] Please test a sample program

Hi all! I want to release SWORD 2.30 next week. Most is finished now. I have developed many new functions and have fixed a lot of bugs. And I want to fix as many leftover bugs as possible. So, PLEASE test the test program :-) The main goal is to provide FreeDOS's and Enhanced Dr-DOS's developers a little and powerful GUI-library. You can download the test program, compiled with SWORD 2.30 from http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0225895/sword/download/swordsample.7z http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0225895/sword/download/swordsample.zip Both includes an UPXed exe file. Unzip it into a new directory. Use "start.bat" to execute the program. The first time you will be asked for some settings. If you want to test others, just type "image -setup" or "image -setup -verbose". Known bugs: 1) Command Window 2) "Set Time/Date"-dialog isn't implemented 3) problems with some screensizes/colormodes. 4) Sometimes it seems to hang at startup. But please wait :-) IMPORTANT: If the program doesn't switch into graphic mode, but exit to command line, then type "image -setup" and try another screensize or colormode (16M/Truecolor should always work). PLEASE tell me all problems or things you would change! Thanks! I am happy about any feedback! Bye, Flo PS: You can download a DOS un-7-zip program from http://www.mysoftware.cjb.net/ PPS: It uses an update version of GRX 2.4.7. When i will release SWORD 2.30 next week, i will also zip this updated version and make it public. -- Unofficial Dr-DOS page <http://www.drdos.org> SWORD - GUI for DOS <http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0225895/sword>
