Subject: GINA & CLM mailing list

Message-ID: <5276@gmdzi.gmd.de>
A mailing list has been created for GINA and CLM. If you want to be added
to this list, send a request to ··················@gmdzi.gmd.de with your
own mail address. You can contribute to the discussion on the list by
sending mail to ··········@gmdzi.gmd.de.
GINA is a user interface development environment based on Common Lisp and
OSF/Motif. It includes CLM, an interface between Lisp and Motif, the
generic application GINA, a class library implemented in CLOS (the Common
Lisp Object System), and the GINA interface builder, a tool to
interactively construct Motif interfaces. GINA is available via
anonymous ftp from export.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.238) - see the file
contrib/CLM+GINA.README.
Since the release of GINA 1.0 and CLM 2.0 in the beginning of 1991 a number of
people had questions and suggestions concerning the portability of and
extensions to the software. The purpose of this mailing list is to provide
a platform where topics and problems can be discussed which might be
of general interest to all GINA and CLM users.
We are planning infos to the following topics:
- patches necessary to run GINA under Lucid4.0 and Allegro 4.0
- GINA future and project background
- problems (and solutions) printing the documentation
- further demo applications available
- extensions to the Interface Builder
- next GINA and CLM versions
You are invited to send:
- ideas for increasing portability
- suggestions for further developments
- extensions which you would like to have included
- nice demo applications you have developed with GINA and CLM
- bugs you have found, little enhancements, missing features
- a short info on what you are implementing
which features you are using (IB, direct-manipulation-objects, UNDO/REDO)
(feedback from users might be an argument for our management to reserve
manpower for further distribution of new releases)
CLM 2.0 and GINA 1.0 are now also ftp'able from gmdzi.gmd.de (129.26.1.90)
directory pub/gina. In addition to what is on export.lcs.mit.edu, there
are also patches for Allegro4.0 and Lucid4.0 and the documentation in
RTF format.
