Re: What to use for a template for developing a Windows program

HI,

> The SwiftForth distribution CD provides a least four
> templates/foundations on which to build an application -- Win1.f,
> Win2.f,

I think that one of the real differences between the Win1.f or Win2.f and
the Winapp.f
is this:

: AppStart ( -- hwnd )
   hApp ?EXIT /APP-CLASS /APP-WINDOW ;

I think without it, the window would not run as an .exe

But I am still learning...

 Winapp.f, and Winmaker.f ( specifically the word GENERICWINDOW )

It seems like Winmaker.f is calling SWOOP classes. At least, it is not a
standalone .f

My questions are:

Am I making any sense of my evaluation of the file code?

And, if so, is it best to separate files such as menu.f and winmaker.f and
such as a model to base
a windows project on?

And, if so, what is the balance between too many differenct .f files?
