-
- ClassAct is a set of 17 BOOPSI classes published by Phantom Development LLC
- and co-authored by Christopher Aldi, Timothy Aston, and Osma Ahvenlampi.
-
- ClassAct provides object-oriented building blocks for your application in
- the form of Intuition BOOPSI classes available as either shared run-time or
- link-time libraries. As they are standard classes, they may be used with
- any application environment supporting BOOPSI. ClassAct is a complete GUI
- system in its own right, supporting everything from simple buttons to an
- advanced list management class, and includes a complete GUI layout system
- class that lets you create font-sensitive and resizable interfaces quickly
- and easily.
-
- Programs that use ClassAct can be made freely distributable, shareware,
- commercial, etc. as there is no fee for users! When you purchase ClassAct,
- users of your software get to use all the functions of our classes that you
- allow them to. This not only makes ClassAct a powerful and time-saving
- choice for software developers, but an affordable and convenient one as well.
-
- Since ClassAct all classes are BOOPSI, they automatically support all
- sorts of great features, such as window relatively (resizability), 3.x
- help, notification, and interconnections with other BOOPSI classes (which
- do not necessarily have to be ClassAct classes). ClassAct classes are
- totally standard BOOPSI libraries, just like the colorwheel and gradient
- sliders that come with release 3.x of the Amiga's operating system.
- ClassAct classes are built for speed, power and efficiency.
-
- All ClassAct classes are compatible with 2.04 (V37) thru 3.1 (V40)
- releases of the Amiga operating system and take advantage of performance
- increases available in release 3.x.
-
- ClassAct is an expanding project, providing you with all the graphical
- user interface tools you need to write your application. ClassAct is
- currently up to 17 different classes, and the list is literally growing
- all the time!
-
- Should You Use ClassAct?:
- -------------------------
- Have you written or are you currently in the process of developing Amiga
- applications? If so, the answer is a very definite YES, you should be
- using ClassAct.
-
- The graphic user interfaces of most Amiga applications fit one or more of
- the following descriptions:
-
- - Non-existant (i.e. command line only)
- - Not font sensitive
- - Not Locale sensitive
- - Slow
- - Memory Intensive
- - Unattractive
- - Lacking in intuitiveness and originality
- - Non-standard
-
- The reasons for this are simple. Existing systems for creating a GUI are
- either limited in features, slow, hard to use, and/or violate system
- standards.
-
- This is why you should use ClassAct. The Amiga is a graphic system and
- all applications should have a graphic user interface. ClassAct is the
- only system that allows you to easily create a GUI that doesn't suffer
- from the deficiencies listed above.
-
- If you want your application to be easy to use, fast and professional
- looking then you NEED ClassAct.
-
- Because ClassAct is BOOPSI, ClassAct may be utilized in any other GUI
- system supporting BOOPSI objects.
