News about SView-Ports
SuperView is a well known graphics converting and viewing tool well knwon of the Amiga.
The author Andreas Kleinert is working on porting SView to other systems,
and publishes a status report:
The GUI preview of the planned WinSView tool kit still is
at alpha state while subject of intensive development. Hence it still is not available, but
by this you will get some initial impression on what it is about.
Development takes place on two levels:
- 1. The underlying C++ class library for image handling (loading, saving)
- 2. The program surface (GUI) in form of a MFC 4.1-based design
Both originally were developed using Watcom C/C++ - for the class library part
and for testing it we use the Watcom C/C++ V11 ability to develop 32 bit
software for the Win9x/NT character mode (DOS box), and for the GUI
part BlueSky's Visual Programmer is utilized.
But the design of the C++ classes is completely platform independent
(e.g. regarding endianess) and suitable to be ported for a wide range
of operating systems, e.g. certain Linux derives, BeOS or QNX. Additionally,
no compiler specific C++ specialities are used ("baseline C++") and utilization
from a clean C program is no problem.
