# PROJECT:		GEOS V2.0
# MODULE:		Hello World (Sample GEOS application)
# FILE:		hello3.gp (Hello World Application Geode Parameters File)
#
# DESCRIPTION:		This file contains Geode definitions for the "Hello World" sample
#		application. This file is read by the Glue linker to
#		build this application.
#
##############################################################################

#
#	Permanent name: This is required by Glue to set the permanent name
#	and extension of the geode. The permanent name of a library is what
#	goes in the imported library table of a client geode (along with the
#	protocol number). It is also what Swat uses to name the patient.
#
name hello3.app

#
#	Long filename: This name can be displayed by GeoManager.
#
longname "Hello World"

#
#	Specify geode type: This geode is an application, will have its own
#	process (thread), and is not multi-launchable.
#
type	appl, process, single

#
#	Specify the class name of the application Process object: Messages
#	sent to the application's Process object will be handled by
#	HelloProcessClass, which is defined in hello3.goc.
#
class	HelloProcessClass

#
#	Specify the application object: This is the object in the
#	application's generic UI tree which serves as the top-level
#	UI object for the application. See hello3.goc.
#
appobj	HelloApp

#
#	Token: This four-letter name is used by GeoManager to locate the
#	icon for this application in the token database. The tokenid
#	number corresponds to the manufacturer ID of the program's author
#	for uniqueness of the token. Eight is Geoworks' manufacturer ID for
# 	sample applications.
#
tokenchars "HELO"
tokenid 8

#
#	stack: This field designates the number of bytes to set aside for
#	the process' stack. (The type of the geode must be process, above.)
#	The default stack size is 2000 bytes.
#
stack 1500

#
# Heapspace: This is roughly the non-discardable memory usage (in words)
# of the application and any transient libraries that it depends on,
# plus an additional amount for thread activity. To find the heapspace
# for an application, use the Swat "heapspace" command.
#
heapspace 3644

#
#	Resources: List all resource blocks which are used by the application.
#	(Standard discardable code resources do not need to be mentioned.)
#
resource APPRESOURCE ui-object
resource INTERFACE ui-object
resource MENURESOURCE ui-object

#
#	Libraries: List which libraries are used by the application.
#
library	geos
library	ui

#
#	User Notes: This field allows the geode to fill its usernotes field
#	(available to the user through GeoManager's File/Get Info function)
#	with meaningful text.
#
usernotes "Sample application for GEOS version 2.0."
