Re: forms library

[slevy]

You can look at FORMS on our systems under
	/u/src/grap/forms-2.0

Subdirectories include

	DOC		Large & detailed manual; see *.tex and CLASSES/*.tex.

	FORMS		Source code for the library itself

	DEMOS		A variety of demos/example programs using FORMS;
			looking at small ones may be a good way to get started.

	DESIGN		Interactive forms designer ("fdesign"; actually
			fdesign2 on our systems).  Yes, it does as you supposed.

If you want to play with the forms designer, it may be compact enough to mail:

	cd /usr/tmp
	cp /usr/local/bin/fdesign2  fdesign2
	strip fdesign2
	compress < fdesign2 | btoa >fdesign2.Z.a

produces an ASCII file about 147K long.  Is that small enough to e-mail to you?

(If you do this, you'll also need the public-domain atob program to unpack
the file as in
	atob <mailmessage | uncompress > fdesign2; chmod +x fdesign2
If you don't have atob, source is in /u/src/new/util/compress/atob.c.)

The complete FORMS source distribution would probably take about 300K of text
to mail.
