ITP amulet
I intend to package the Amulet GUI framework. It does not have as
many users as GTK+ or QT, but it is under development (the
amulet-users mailing list has 315 subscribers).
The draft control file follows.
- Jim Van Zandt
Source: open-amulet
Section: devel
Priority: optional
Maintainer: James R. Van Zandt <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>
Standards-Version: 2.5.0
Package: open-amulet-dev
Architecture: any
Depends: libamulet4
Description: Development files for Amulet, a GUI toolkit
This package contains the header files and the development library
for Open Amulet. Install this package if you wish to develop your own
programs using the Amulet toolkit.
.
The Amulet Toolkit is a portable toolkit designed for the creation of
2D direct manipulation grapical user interfaces. It is written in C++
and can be used with Unix systems running X Windows, PC's running
Microsoft Windows NT or `95, or Macintosh systems running MacOS.
.
The Amulet research project in the School of Computer Science at
Carnegie Mellon University is creating a comprehensive set of tools
which make it significantly easier to create graphical,
highly-interactive user interfaces. The lower levels of Amulet are
called the `Amulet Toolkit,' and these provide mechanisms that allow
programmers to code user interfaces much more easily. Support is
provided for: object selection, save/load, undo, and constraints.
.
As the group at Carnegie Mellon University is no longer funded for
its work on Amulet, some Amulet users have founded the Open Amulet
project which has continued its development.
