OO library brings object class style and easier programming to plain C language
and AmigaOS. OO library makes also possible to create GUI's using GUIML
(Graphical User Interface Markup Language).

*** REMOVED Hook and Node classes because they were unncecessary! Replace their
usage and re-compile all your projects! ***
*** NOTE: Random class has it's own ooRandom.h header file. ooSys.h has been
removed! ***
*** NOTE: List class has it's own ooList.h header file. ooSys.h has been
removed! ***

* Known problems v1.10: Reading GUIML might crash!
* Known problems v1.10: Using the close button of clicktab tabs will crash!

* Requirements: knob.gadget, radiobuttonX.gadget, picflow.gadget, drawer.gadget
(included in the package); avcodec2.library, avformat2.library, avutil2.library,
swresample2.library, swscale2.library for Video class and can be found from
Emotion video player package 

Permission granted to redistribute oo.library in binary form in software
packages
made for AmigaOS and using the oo.library.

Note: New releases of the library should be compatible with software using the
older versions but recompiling your projects using the oo.library is recommended
still.

Drawing graphics to a window: Add a Space gadget to your window layout and use
the Space gadget object to create a Graphics object. Use the Graphics object to
draw into the Space gadget's rastport (which is the windows rastport). Graphics
class takes care of rastport's and double buffering.

Included examples: Drawerview, GUIfromGUIMLfile, KeyValuePairs, SamplePlayer,
SimpleAudio, SimpleDOS, SimpleGUI, SimpleHTTP, SimpleServer, SimpleVideo,
SimpleSpaceShooter, SimpleTalk, Inheritance.

Some highlights:
* OO Window class adds new choices to a window popup menu (the popup gadget in a
window title bar), when enabled:
 - Full screen mode: A custom screen is opened and the window is moved there and
resized to fill up the screen below the screen title bar
 - Half screen mode: The window is resized to fill horizontally half of the
screen area and moved either left side or right side of the screen (a modern
feature to see two documents side by side, for example)
 - Public screens, which are defined in Screen prefs and marked as auto
open/close but not opened yet, are listed for screen jumping as well as already
open public screens
