Description: DeskLib is a set of fully sourced C libraries for programming the WIMP. The aim of DeskLib is to collect together useful little snippets of code to help the desktop programmer. In this area, DeskLib already provides a full set of WIMP SWI veneers in assembler, a whole set of useful icon manipulation functions, etc. Higher-level event managers, etc. are also provided but trade off efficiency and compactness to provide genericity. All necessary .o files have been pre-assembled from the assembler parts of the sources, so only an Archimedes C compiler is needed.
