887.0. "UIL definitions made easier?" by BISTRO::KIRK (Lies, damn lies, and benchmarks.) Tue Jun 06 1989 15:51

    I couldn't find a topic related to this, so here goes. 
    
    Has anyone written a utility to make the creation of UIL definitions
    easier?
    
    Thanks,
    Richard

	The UIGEN utility is a BIG help in creating UIL code.
	It eliminates all of the busy work that is involved,
	especially if your code is internationalizable.  Hit
	KP7 to add the UIGEN notesfile to your notebook.

887.2What kind of output?GSRC::WESTI'm just visiting this planet.Tue Jun 06 1989 23:158
  Without going thru the UIGEN conference...does UIGEN produce UIL code yet
  or does it just do UID ??  I had heard earlier that UID was all that it
  produced.  Is this correct?

> Is this correct?

    It is not. Can't believe everything you hear apparently.

    Not only does UIGEN crete UIL it also creates skeleton C code to drive
    it. I found it VERY helpful in getting started. The UIL and C I have now
    bear little resemblance to the original as created by UIGEN (through nat-
    ural code evolution), but having UIGEN to set the foundation was a very
    BIG help.

What is UIGEN's relation to DWICS?

None.  UIGEN is a midnight project for getting an application's DECwindows UI
started up quickly.  DWICS is a series of supported products for developing and
maintaining DECwindows interfaces via WYSIWYG editors, etc.

The key words above are "midnight/startup" and "supported/maintaining".  

UIGEN, however, is the only one available now.

There is a note on this (and using the two together) in the UIGen notes
conference.
