The Andrew User Interface System (AUIS)
The Andrew User Interface System (AUIS) -- 63L4
The Andrew User Interface System (Andrew)is a leading graphical user interface system meeting these
often-requested needs: * word processor, * html editor, * program editor,
* drawing editor, * directory browser,* help browser, * spreadsheet,
* mail / bulletin board manager, * application builder, * scripting language.
The system has three principal components:
- The Andrew User Environment (AUE) is an integrated set
of applications beginning with a 'generic object' editor
(ez), a help system, a system monitoring tool (console),
an editor-based shell interface (typescript), and
support for printing multi-media documents.
- The Andrew Toolkit (ATK) is a portable user-interface
toolkit. It provides a dynamically-loadable,
object-oriented environment wherein objects can be
embedded in one another. Thus, one could edit text that
contains not only fonts and styles, but also embedded
raster images, spreadsheets, drawing editors, equations,
simple animations, etc. These embedded objects could
themselves contain other objects, including text. ATK is
an open system so programmers can create new objects
that can be embedded as easily as those system-defined
objects.
- The Andrew Message System (AMS) provides a multi-media
interface to mail and bulletin boards. AMS supports
several mail management strategies and implements many
advanced features including authentication, return
receipts, automatic sorting of mail, vote collection and
tabulation, enclosures, audit trails of related
messages, and subscription management. It also provides
a variety of interfaces that support ttys and
low-function personal computers in addition to the
high-function workstations.
