NeXT WDEF 3.0 - Anthony D. Saxton ( Portions by Eric Celeste & Josh Pritikin )
Control Panel Interface - Anthony D. Saxton
NeVR INIT modified by Anthony D. Saxton
Patches in NeVR INIT were written by Jörg "jbx" Brown
This new version of NeXT Windows Definition has been updated to compile under Think C, Version 5.x. The code has been cleaned up with a significant speed improvement! The B/W Icons have been augmented with Color Icons, so that windows appear in Color in 4 color mode ( 2 bit ) or higher. The Icons now have a down position as well as the up position, and no longer revert to the old style. Color Window settings are now fully supported and all documented window types work properly! Also the settings of System 7’s “Color” Control Panel are now fully supported!
The NeVR Init has now been converted into a Control Panel! You can enable or disable the Window Definition and Startup Icon through the standard Control Panel. The Window Definition may also be temporarily disabled by holding the Shift Key or Mouse Button down durring loading!
This Stuffit archive includes source code in Think C, Version 5.x. The "Tester" code has been eliminated because it just didn't work under System 7. I have instead included a ShareWare program "WDEF Tester" written by Chris Reed, that tests the Window Definition quite nicely without installing and rebooting. Documentation for WDEF Tester is provided in a seperate file. I will send to anyone that is interested the source codes for this version of NeVR INIT, AnimINIT (version 1.2.2) and the WDef III 'cdev' on 800K or HD (please specify) disk. Please send $10(US) to cover expenses.
Many thanks to my Beta Testers, Dean Bungart, Doug Hanley, Carlos Perez and James Tilley for there countless hours in proving Version 3.0 would work reliably! Testing has been done on Mac Plus, SE, IIci, IIcx and IIfx in System Versions 6.0.7 and 7.0.1 and 7.1 with various selections of Extensions (including Greg’s Buttons, Double Scroll & all Now Utilities!).
I have tried to give credit where credit is due in the code file. If you have any suggestions to improve this new version, please contact me!
