Version 1.0 of the Open Object Library (OOL) has been released.
What is the OPEN OBJECT LIBRARY?
The Open Object Library (OOL) is a C++ class library for Warp 3 or higher.
It contains classes for
- control-windows, menus, dialogs and other types of windows
- files, (named) pipes, DDE, sockets
- graphic primitives and printer-support
- semaphores and other useful things like interfaces to
Java (TM), REXX and DIVE.
The OOL works with following compilers:
- IBM Visual Age C++ 3.0
- EMX/GCC 0.9b or higher
- Watcom C/C++ 10.0 (Currently we have some problems with Watcom 10.x so
the libraries and DLLs for this compiler are not distributed, the
makefiles for the compiler are part of the package so you are able to
build these files yourself; IBM nmake is needed to build the OOL for
Watcom C/C++).
The OOL is copyrighted freeware.
Files of the OOL
The OOL is shipped in three packages:
OOL_MAIN.ZIP
source, header-files, samples, course, documentation in
INF-format, ~1.1 MB
OOL_EMX.ZIP
DLLs and import libraries for EMX 0.9b (or higher), ~570 KB
OOL_IBM.ZIP
DLLs and import librarys for Visual Age C++, ~470 KB
Have a look at http://www.gwdg.de/~sbrauk/OOL_READ.HTML in order
to download the OOL. I also uploaded the archives to
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming;
they should appear in
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/cplusplus soon.
