structure and technical matters

microGlas-6 is developed by the programming language Tcl/Tk which we enlarged by a method to have accses to the C-ISAM data and is therefore called TclTkC.
Tcl/Tk is a interpretative language which consists of both main componets Tcl and Tk, in which Tcl is the actual programming language and Tk is an enlargement to create graphical user interface (GUI).
Basically, a Tcl/Tk application always consits of a program interpreter (here TclTkC) and one or more program files with the program instructions to be interpreted.
From various reasons the program is divided int certain program codes and so-called program libraries, in which the latter is used by very different programs.
Because of such libraries being at hand and their using, the advantage of a faster development is created as well as a uniform layout an a user-friendly scheme of the program most important to the user. In the area of the forms of presentation to be dealt with in the following paragraph another advantage is created so that schooled users without actual programming knowlege are able to modify them themselves.

Typical libraries are e.g.:
· Realization of the functionally of the data bank on the basis of the C-ISAM methods.
· Realization of the various "forms of presentation" to the user, in which we understand:
masks tables lists forms


This could be presented most easily as follows:



All presenting forms could be designed freely within the frame of user's program (e.g. of the administrating of articles) via certain definitions.
