YOUR NEW DEVELOPER'S ENVIRONMENT IS READY

Your developer's tools have been loaded, and ViSta's environment has been changed into a developer's environment. The changes are summarized below.

There are two more menus on the menubar: Graphics and Develop. The Develop menu contains the tools for developing new applications for ViSta. The graphics menu is a preview of things to come, but it has been disabled and is not yet ready to use.

There is a "Toggle Devel Mode" item at the end of the Options menu which toggle you in and out of developer's mode.

When you exit the make-vista system will automatically check for code changes, and attempt to compile any file whose time stamp has changed. If the compile fails, you will have to fix the file and try again. If it succeeds, then the make-vista system will form a new vista workspace. (This step is not always needed, and is not always carried out.) 

When you rerun ViSta, you will be once again introduced to ViSta, since the entire sytem has to be reinitialized so that everything works as expected.

Note that a new icon has been added to Window's START menu. It allows you to make ViSta without having to initally run ViSta.
