Desktop Viewer

The Desktop Viewer introduces new user interaction models. It is based on the SWIFT user interface toolkit introduced in Smallworld Core 4.2 and 4.3. Exactly the same Magik application code runs on the MagikSF and Magik on Java virtual machines.

To run the Desktop Viewer:

1. Edit <installation directory>/demo/desktop_viewer.magik to point to your installation of the Core 4.3 Cambridge Database. There are two paths hardcoded in the script.
2. Run start_magik_console.bat to start the Magik console.
3. Run load_file("demo/desktop_viewer.magik")

This will load the application code, open the database and start the application.
