NOTE ON CHATTY
The source file (chatty.c) and executable (chatty) in this
directory demonstrate how the messages and strings for a
program may be stored in the .info file for the program.
The user may revise such strings at will, using the INFO
menu from Workbench. The programmer may create versions for
different languages--without recompiling--simply by revising
the messages within the .info file.
The demo itself opens a window and prints (at random
locations) messages from the .info file. It will cease doing
so when clicked to the background. Exit the program by
clicking the QUIT gadget at upper left corner of the screen.
WARNING: Don't use CTRL C or BREAK when running this pro-
gram. It's a simple demo and will Guru if you don't heed
this warning (the code could be expanded to prevent this).
The program will run either from Workbench or CLI. For
CLI, set CD to CHATTY and 1> run chatty. For Workbench,
copy the files CHATTY and CHATTY.INFO to the root directory
of RAM: and execute CHATTY as usual, by clicking on its icon.
The code in chatty.c is explained in the file CHATTY.DOC.
