  30. DLOG_Manager 1.10 - $15
  31.  
  32. DLOG_Manager is a library that can help in handle a DLOG structure. You define the DLOGs item in a Template structure 'EdF2'.
  33. It includes different feature that apple DLOG manager dosn't support.
  34.     a)    uses styl Text Edit for input and output.
  35.      b)    uses  trumbs to manage greater text.
  36.     c)    uses multi-level pop-ups.
  37.     d)    uses input field with pop-ups.
  38.  
  39. I raccomand you to try the program for a cuple of week and the decide to register it or to delete it. You can obtain more information typist Cmd-Opt-I in the main window (the one that appare after you type Cmd-N).
  40.  
  41. The package contains two 68K version, one for the MPW 3.3.1 and one for THINK C 7.07.
  42. The two folder contain a program DLOGManagerSample 1.1 that swhow the management capacity of the library.
  43.  
  44. I'd like if you send me your comment about DLOGManager (for example what sort of funcion will be 
  45. implemented to make it usefull for you) specifying what is right and what is wrong. I'm wainting for 
  46. your comments to make DLOGManager a good library.
  47.  
  48. Example:
  49.  
  50. The code for managing this DLOG is:
  51.  
  52. /***
  53.  *        help();
  54.  *
  55.  *        mostra l'help DLOG.
