#Licensing Agreements
4 messages in this thread
O.K., Can anybody HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am currently developing some mathematical software and need a front-end
graphical interface. A simple GUI is no problem, but what I'm after is CAD type
of program (something as simple, say, as CANVAS or, hopefully, more complex). I
really don't want to spend the time developing one myself.
How would I go about licensing a package already developed? Do all
packages license some aspect of their design? Are there any discontinued
packages that I could pursue or is it better to go with currently available
software? What should I do????????????
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure what kind of front end you are talking about when you say a "CAD
type of program." Do you need specific customized controls, esoteric services,
etc., or are you trying to create a GUI and have it automatically maintained?
The current version of Tools Plus 2.1 (in the "C & Pascal" libraries, file name
is TPLUS2.SEA) lets you easily build a user interface, then it automatically
does all the GUI and event maintenance for you. During Q2 94 we will be
releasing version 2.5 that will include support for "picture buttons," a tool
bar, and more controls. Tools Plus is easy to learn, and registered users can
distribute applications written with Tools Plus royalty free.

Steve,
Thanks for the reply. What you described I am interested in somewhat. Can
you send me some documentation on your product? My primary concern, at least,
as I see it now, is a front end graphical package that will allow me to draw
objects, scale, rotate, etc. so that my software can perform calculations on
these figures. Can you guys do that?

Tools Plus helps you create a GUI for just about any application, but it does
not have any logic that is inherent to a specific _type_ of application (i.e.
we don't do any scaling or rotating, etc., that you would find in a graphics
package.)
I will send you some literature about what Tools Plus can do for you right now,
and what we will be releasing shortly.
