ObjEd Prototype
This is the first prototype of ObjEd, an 'unstructured structured editor.' It's not at all useful---all it does is display its own documentation. I am making it available to the public in order to get some constructive criticism on the concept and design of the program.
REQUIRES
Tcl/Tk >= 8.0
Python >= 1.3 (I think), with the Tkinter module
long filename support (i.e., no Windows 3.1. Sorry.)
INSTALLATION
Unpack the archive (objed-proto.tar.gz or oeproto.zip) in a convenient directory. I imagine you've already done that, or you wouldn't be reading this.
RUNNING THE PROGRAM
On UNIXoid platforms, you should be able to just type
$ ./oe_proto.py
on Windows, umm...
C:\> python oe_proto.py
... I guess. Let me know if that's incorrect. On Macintosh ... I'm sorry, I really don't know. Maybe you do.
- Options
-f OR --fonts-no Turn off my hand-picked fonts; use only the
default fonts for your platform.
-g OR --gentle Turn off the "aggressive" popup menus (I think
you'll understand once you run the thing)
-h OR --heavy Use the default borderwidths for all widgets,
instead of the nice slim look I've designed.
IF IT DOESN'T WORK
It's very unlikely I will know what the problem is, since this has only been tested on my own (Linux) system. If you look at the code, figure it out, and tell me, then perhaps I can share the knowledge with other people. If you're unable to do that, maybe you should wait until the program is a little more mature.
