The GEM user interface has altered a lot in the last ten years. Current programs work with window dialogs that contain radio buttons, check boxes, popups, list boxes and many other enhancements.
As these extensions have not been integrated into TOS, programmers are having to continuously "reinvent the wheel": Usually the program is linked with a library that presumes that only the AES-functions of the first TOS version are present. All extensions are realised by the library's program code.
Unfortunately this has the disadvantage that the program size grows appreciably "simply" for reasons of appearance (which, under multitasking, swallows just that portion of memory one doesn't have) and the capabilities of newer OS versions are not or only partly used.
We have therefore chosen a different approach with the following prerequisites:
The result is WDIALOG: A system extension that makes MagiC-compatible AES-extensions available.
