1.1       garbled     1: Cdk Notes
                      2: Copyright Mike Glover, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999
                      3: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      4: 
                      5: This document states some of the testing and history of the Cdk widget set.
                      6: 
                      7: Cdk has gone through a major facelift since I first created it, and it's
                      8: current look I like enough to release and attach my name to. :) I have made sure
                      9: to remain as consistent as possible with function parameter positions, names,
                     10: purposes, and what-not. I hope I have been, if not mail me tell me what you
                     11: find inconsistent and I may change it. I say may because I don't want to kill
                     12: anyone's code if I can help it. That is why I waited so long before releasing
                     13: Cdk. I wanted it to be as stable as possible before sending it out into the
                     14: world. I think it's stable, and hopefully so will you. There are a few things
                     15: worth noting before continuing.
                     16: 
                     17: Cdk has gone through some fairly rigorous testing, but since I did the testing
                     18: it may not be complete. I have complied the code with Purify (TM) and 
                     19: Centerline's Testcenter (TM) and both say my code is clean. There are no
                     20: memory leaks, and the only problems exist in the curses library. If you use the
                     21: Ncurses library, it has been cleaned. Of course I am not the best to ask. The
                     22: only reason why I can say this is because I asked the Ncurses author. I don't
                     23: know how clean it is. I will assume very clean.
                     24: 
                     25: But since I may not be able to see the forest for the trees, I'm willing to 
                     26: bet that bugs still do exist, and you folks will find them. If you do find bugs
                     27: read the BUGS document supplied with this release to find out what to do.
                     28: 
                     29: I do not plan on changing the interface to Cdk, so any code developed in it now
                     30: should pass the test of time. The only changes I can see are bug fixes and new
                     31: widgets. Lets hope this wish of mine remains true...
                     32: 
                     33: There is an examples directory available which demonstrates all of the widgets
                     34: and some extra concepts, it's a great place to tool around in before banging
                     35: away at your own code.
                     36:
