ANNIE-INTERACTIVE DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT (ANNIE-IDE)
Description:
The ANNIE-Interactive Development Environment (ANNIE-IDE) tool kit is a user interface development system for interactive environmental models and other pre- and post-processor programs. The ANNIE-IDE system provides the program designer/developer with a program tool kit that follows a consistent methodology for building interactive interfaces. The system provides the program designer/developer with tools to write code to incorporate one or more of the following operations: display text on the monitor screen; display static and/or dynamic menus; prompt the user to select a menu option; display screens for entering data values; prompt the user to input or edit values in a one- or two-dimensional array; open a file to store and/or retrieve text, data, or other information; display context sensitive help, instructions, and model/program parameter information; and execute an interactive tutorial session. The microcomputer version of the ANNIE-IDE system is a full implementation of the VAX/VMS version. The microcomputer implementation of this system performs the same function as the U.S. EPA mainframe/minicomputer version.
