5.12 Multiple Document Interface
Most applications will save data files. GEOS provides a convenient storage format for data files and an even more convenient mechanism for managing the files.
The Document Control objects interact with the GEOS file system and virtual memory system to implement the Open, Close, Save, Save-As, and Revert functions of the File menu as well as many other common document-related features. In fact, the Document Control also controls user interaction for these basic functions, creating and updating the File menu and putting up the proper dialog boxes for each operation.
The Document Control objects, like GenView and other components of GEOS, take basic functionality common to most applications and implement it in the system software. Using a Document Control for your data file management can save weeks of coding and debugging time.
