Subject: ANN: SATGUI Beta4 Released
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 21:59:00 CST
SATGUI Beta4 is now released and available from SATiSOFT.
SATGUI (A component of SAT - the Small Application Toolkit) is a
framework in which (Microsoft -or- X) Windows Client / Unix Server
applications can be developed.
Information and download from: www.satisoft.com/satgui
(Released under an "Open Source" style license)
NEW AT BETA4:-
New SAT/DL Commands: addGrid, addHotKey, addPickList, setFocus,
setItemState. New Features: Translations (basic multi-language
support), connect without login, save/restore screens within
client -and- many other smaller enhancements.
============(Small Application Toolkit)============
SAT is a collection of utilities intended to simplify the development
of small, multi-user, GUI based applications in a (Microsoft -or- X)
Windows Client / Unix Server environment.
There are many existing methods for creating this type of application;
Oracle/Forms, Ingres/OpenRoad, VisualBasic/ODBC, HTML/CGI etc, all of
which have their place, but for many small applications these can be
expensive/bloated/complex.
With this in mind SAT was developed using the following guidelines:-
*Small (single file) client.
*All Application code stored on server.
*Simple window layout language.
*Low network bandwidth requirements.
*Print "word processor" quality letters/reports.
No PC/Windows development skills are required. Any programmer with a
reasonable grasp of Unix shell script can produce useful applications
with the minimum of fuss. Take a look at the demo application to see
just how easy SAT is!
SAT applications can be written in most Unix character based languages;
C, Shell script, Perl etc. To produce SQL based database applications
the SAT package includes a filter to simplify interfacing SAT with the
MySQL database system.
Although the SAT components are designed to work together, most of them
can be used stand-alone or incorporated into other applications.
All Unix components are implemented as scripts for easy portability.

=Adrian=
