INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT NOTES

This file contains things to do internally (i.e. with no direct
impact on the user interface) in RD7.  It obeys the same formatting
conventions as release.not.


TO DO:
-----

	The update and MvLns operations on Views ought to be made
	generic (using class ops for next, prev, etc.) (v0.16)

	The actual ViewRec structures should be initialized in RD7.C
	adjacent to the menus that use them, rather than in view.c.  (v0.7)
	[Maybe]

	gHeader wants to take as its second argument a pseudo-printf
	format (inapplicable items should be ignored).	(v0.7)

	   %w.dX	as in printf.

	       m	mode -- short
	       M	mode -- long
	       d	date
	       t	time
	       s	size
	       k	size in K
	       b	size in blocks



DONE:
-----

(v0.16)	Views:  
	    The different sorts of view are now subclasses.

(v0.15)	Screens: (v0.7)
	    A Screen is a view and its menus, with DYNAMIC links to
	    left and right neighbors:

	    	Screen l, r;
	    	View   v;
		Menu   m;
		String name;

	    This way, Views and Menus can be shared between screens.

(v0.10) IdrisDir a subclass of Dir

(v0.9)	Dir creation calls a callback routine rather than taking a
	View as a parameter.

(v0.8)	[REJECT] The stream operations want to be methods of Text (v0.7+)

(v0.8)	Need COOPS classes: (v0.7)
		Text		basically a *stream*
		Buffer		A single block of characters
		BufferList	several blocks of characters
		StringList	an array of variable-length strings

(v0.8)	The initial screen and the "READING" blank-out display should
	share their own view, with the Centered bit on. (v0.7)

(v0.8)	View needs 
		an "is_visible" flag. 		(v0.7)
		x, y 				(v0.7+)
		an Initialize method		(v0.7+)

(v0.8)	Each view needs its OWN box window	(v0.7+)
