(Update and revision package)
The Window BOSS is one of the most powerful and
cost-effective products available to enhance and accelerate
the development of system and applications programs in the
"C" language. The BOSS will let you create programs that
have the same look and feel as top sellers like Lotus 1-2-3,
Sidekick, dBASE III, and Framework! Pop-up windows, pull
down menus, status lines, and in context on- line help
functions can be easily implemented. Your applications can
drag windows around the screen and automatically sense the
type of video card installed. All of this without snow,
flicker, or delay!
The BOSS's assistant, The Data Clerk, is always on call to
handle the tasks associated with data entry. The Data Clerk
makes it a snap to enter text, integers, floats, longs,
dates, phone numbers, and times. It is equally easy to
create complex forms with individual field help and error
messages. Custom fields and masks are also a snap!
Naturally, we concentrated on the programmer interface,
keeping it clean, uncluttered, powerful, fast, and easy to
remember.
Our Mouse routines provide the icing on the cake! Once the
mouse has been initialized, you can show it, hide it, move
it, check to see if any of its buttons have been pressed or
released, make it emulate a light pen, put an invisible cage
around it, define it shape and associated attributes, and ask
it how many buttons it has!
Tim Parker's column in the February 87 issue of Computer
Language stated "the ease of use will cause some programmers
to go overboard with windows", and "if you are a die-hard C
programmer looking for a useful, license-free product, this
is it".
Hardin Bothers' column in the June 88 issue of PC Resource
stated "Within its domain, The Window BOSS is as useful and
as powerful as any C library I've used". "The Window BOSS
owes much of its power to its uncluttered organization.
Although the product supports five C Compilers - Microsoft C,
Lattice C, Borland's Turbo C, Computer Innovations CI86, and
Datalight C - it does it with a minmum of fuss." Post review
note from the author - The BOSS now also supports Mix Power
C, Aztec C, Zortech, and Watcom C!!
In 1989 The Window BOSS achived membership in the TOP 50
Shareware Programs offerd by PC-SIG!! (Shareware Magazine -
January 1990)
The BOSS is currently being used by such notables as IBM,
ATT, UNISYS, Cray Research, ATT Bell Labs, Lockheed, Zenith,
Jet Propulsion Lab, Internal Revenue Service, US Navy, US
Airforce, NASA, Honeywell, Liton, UpJohn, Hughes Aircraft,
Contel, ARCO, Penril Data, Gandalf Data, National Football
League (NFL), Battelle Memorial Institute, Brown & Sharpe,
Olan Mills, DCA, Attachemate, Datalight, Hayes, Boeing,
McDonnald Douglas, The Travelers, Dow Corning, Coca Cola,
numerous universities, and discriminating "C" programmers
around the world! Haven't you waited long enough?
