Old stuff
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
oldstuff/GINA++1.5.tar.Z REL Version 1.5 of GINA++
oldstuff/GINA++.1.5.1.tar.Z REL Some new demos and many bug fixes
oldstuff/GINA++.1.5.2.tar.Z REL Added SUN shared library support.
Functionally identical to Version 1.5.1
oldstuff/GINA++.1.5.3.tar.Z REL Enhanced menu system classes. Provides
mechanisms for easy construction of
hirarchical menu systems. Also compiles
with X11R4 and X11R5.
oldstuff/GINA++.1.5.4.tar.Z REL Makefile and source code cleanups.
GINA++ now compiles with SUN C++ 2.1,
gcc 2.2.2 and with Lucid's lcc
oldstuff/VPSLEUTH.tar.Z REL The compiled vp-sleuth demo program.
Runs on SUN 4.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Software requirements for GINA++:
X11R4 Xlib and Xt libraries with patchlevel 18
or X11R5
Motif 1.1.[34] libraries and headers
Sun C++ or 2.1
The software has been tested on Sun Sparcstations with SunOS 4.1.x
It compiles with Sun C++ 2.1.
The software does not run with Motif versions earlier than 1.1.3 !
We are interested in your opinion about this software. Please send

=============================================================================
The GINA Interface Builder, which generates Code for GINA in Lisp/CLOS and C++,
is only implemented in Lisp. There are two standalone versions of the IB for
- SUN Sparc Station 10 running SunOS 4.1.3 sun4m and
- SUN Sparc Station 2 running SunOS 4.1.3 sun4c.
Each occupies packed more than 10 MB and requires unpacked 26 MB disk space.
You need a Sparc with more than 16 MB main memory to run the IB.
You find the IB in directory /gmd/gina.
Please read the README first.
