GoPATH
A Path To Object Oriented Graphics
ABSTRACT
GoPATH is an environment for graphical and interactive application
development. At this time, it includes a object oriented toolkit: Go
and utilities: Go Companions.
Go is a portable and extensible 2D graphic object library for
application data presentation and interaction. Go intends to extend
with powerful graphical capabilities the standard toolkits
(ie. OSF/Motif(TM) or MS-Windows(TM)). Go allows to create,
to modify and to compose graphical objects. These objects can
be displayed in a window (or a pixmap) or can be written in a
PostScript(TM) format. When displayed on the screen, the user can
directly manipulate objects, the user events are interpreted with
respect to UI description files. An external stream format allows
to export/import structured graphical objects, it can be used to
store/retrieve structured graphics on disk or to exchange graphics
between applications (cut/copy/paste). Available predefined
graphical objects are geometric, formatted texts, images,
graphs, trees and grid.
The Go Companions are utilities which come with the Go library in
order to help application developers to draw the graphical
presentation and to define its behavior. Mainly, Go Companions
include graphical objects editors (godraw, gopaint, gowrite,
gohyper) and resource editors (gopen, godash, gobrush, gocolor, ...).
The Go Companions constitute for the application programmer
a real 2D presentation builder.
Go as well as editors runs on a number of Unix(TM) environments
(Bull, Sun, SGI, MIPS, IBM, SCO, ...) and on MS-Windows(TM) 3.1.

A distribution is identified like "v.r.i", where:
v: gives the functionality level,
r: gives the release level,
i: index of sub-release (fixed bugs, minor changes).
Usually a Go version distribution contains 5 files.
go-v.r.i-ReadMe: this file,

go-v.r.i-src.tar.Z the source files for generation,
go-v.r.i-doc.tar.Z the source and postscript files of
documentation.
go-v.r.i-str.tar.Z some GoStreams files for example
For convenient reason, we deliver the sun4 version compiled with
