SUMMARY Framewrk

Frameworks for Smalltalk/V
(c) Copyright 1993 by Nikolas S. Boyd. All rights reserved.

Frameworks provide a way to build and/or refactor systems of objects.
First-class frameworks can be used to capture and reuse the patterns of 
interaction between the objects in a system.

A detailed description of frameworks and their usage can be found in the
September 1993 issue of The Smalltalk Report: Building Object-Oriented 
Frameworks. The files associated with this document provide the source code 
for the first two listings in The Smalltalk Report:

README       The introduction to this package (this file).
LICENSE.PKG  The license for this software package.

FRAMEWRK.1   Listing 1: Framework Support
FRAMEWRK.2   Listing 2: Framework Abstract Class

These two files provide the essential behavior for building new Framework
subclasses. The other listings from the article were not included because 
they only serve as concise examples. 

As interest in frameworks expands and more frameworks (both general and 
specialized) are developed they will be made available through either 
CompuServe or the American Information Exchange (AMiX). Your interest 
and inquiries are invited. Please contact me through AMiX or through
CompuServe at 74170,2171.

The license statement included with this product indicates that the
associated Software files are copyrighted. Please read the associated license.
The purchase price of this product is $0 US. You may purchase this product for
$0 US by transfering a copy of these files to your system. 

This software is being made available for free in order to foster interest in 
frameworks and further their development. Therefore, if you find this software
useful, you are invited to contact me and register your purchase. Registered
users will be notified of revisions and the availability of new frameworks as
they become available.
