Here is an example of how NOT to create a "Save File" function.
In this text editor, to save a file, you must type the file name in
to your document, select the text, right-click and select "Store to Named
File" from the menu.
A similar process is involved for loading a file, but at least that
text does not get written to your file.
As a bonus this entire process involves a finger dance that involves
all three mouse buttons because text selection involves both the left and
middle mouse buttons.
Also, when typing you must keep the mouse cursor inside the window or
your keystrokes may start going to another program window, even if it is
in the background. Hope you don't mind having your cursor in the way of
what you are typing, and hope your mouse doesn't drift!
From the right-click desktop menu you can select "lock screen". This
starts a screen saver that displays various patterns of Sun logos.
Leaving the screen saver prompts for the user's password before it
will return to the desktop. (Each user on SunOS has a user ID and password)
A font editor, and a demo program.
Also an example "Quit" dialog box. Press the left mouse button to confirm
Quit. To cancel , press the right mouse button now. Wait, do you mean my
left or my other left?
Ohhh, perty. Some more demo program with various animation.
Exiting Suntools.
