Laser C's window management routines are some Megamax-specific (non-GEM, non-Unix) functions that help in window manipulation, redraw, and whatnot. For instance, instead of calculating intersecting rectangles (as you must when you redraw a GEM scree that's been updated), Laser C comes with a "calculate-intersection-of-two-rectangles" route. I'd give more specific details, but I haven't written a mega-big window- based application yet. B-) --R.J. B-) P.S. Laser C i, in my opinion, _the_ best C package for the ST right now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: These are my views, and mine alone. # ## # Mailing address: Beats me, just reply to this message # ## # (rjung@nunki.usc.edu?) ## ## ## #### ## ####
