- Some notes about the presentation of the standard (especially the
- app_defs.sys file)
-
- -----
-
- Instead of 'Gem-list compliant', which doesn't really sound catchy,
- we should try something more commercial. More like the 'General MIDI'
- standard in music interfaces. What about an icon:
-
- ==GL 1== (standard shortcuts)
- standard
-
- and ==GL 2== (app_defs.sys support)
- standard
-
- with a nice outline, much like the 'Intel Inside' logo? (which has
- proved to be very merchantable) I'll post GIFs/CVG's monday. No immediate
- need for people to see the words 'Gem List'. They don't make sense to
- the man in the street.
-
- -----
-
- I had some ideas about a practical extension of Warwick's stuff into
- a C module. The module takes care of EVERYTHING including converting the
- shortcuts (k_code, k_shift) into an application-specific action code.
- Following Warwick's app_defs file contents. I'll post details,
- hopefully, monday. Hopefully they work out into quality stuff.
- In that case, however, I will want 'ZFC' mentioned whenever the
- code is used :-)
-
- BTW, I leave it up to the BASIC people to convert the modular stuff to
- their languages. Seems very hard to do in BASIC, if you ask me...
- And I don't think we should compromise because of the lack of strength
- of BASIC as an app development system...
