AntiRight Rearchitecturing
AntiRight has undergone a major rearchitecturing. The new architecture is that of a scriptable desktop environment. The environment is implemented using a configuration architecture, known as ACE. This consists of ACE, the script which implements the executable functions on the scripted side of the environment, system.antiright, which is the configuration file in which all AntiRight actions are defined, and arconfig, whichis the means by which the user can modify such definitions. The GUI of the environment, which can be said to be a form of shell bindings to motif, is arshell. The only utilities that remain in their C incarnations are antifile, xmtextedit, arcd, and arcolor. arcd is just the command line interface to the CD ioctls now. Its user interface is implemented in ACE. arcolor provides a superior color selection mechanism than that currently possible with an arshell UI, so it remains currently. The color selection code may be moved into the library as a widget once scale globals are removed. The text editor and file manager may be replaced by scripted versions in the future.
