ZOG/VINSON Technology Demonstration Project System Description. Volume 1
Abstract
The ZOG system is a user-modifiable, menu-oriented, rapid response human-computer interface on a network of powerful workstations, the PERQ Systems Corporation's PERQ micro-computers. This document describes how the ZOG system operates. This is not a user's guide but a description of what is behind all of the menu creation and other standard features. This document is divided into four separate and distinct volumes. It was written this way to best describe the total system while keeping volumes apart so as to make each one accessible without having to go through the others. The first volume is the ZOG System Description. The system description includes a description of: An overview of the ZOG system, the initialization process, basic system flow, how accessing frames and subnets is accomplished, ZOG utilities, ZOG editors and ZOG agents. The second volume is ZOG Structures. This volume lists all of the different structures used within the code that makes up ZOG. The third volume is ZOG files. ZOG Files lists and describes all of the files that ZOG needs in order to run. These files are in addition to all of the source and executable files that make up the ZOG system. The fourth volume is ZOG Modules. ZOG Modules goes through ZOG, module by module, describing what is going on. Each of the four volumes has a different function. The system descripton is useful for an overall view of how ZOG functions. The structures volume is useful for an overall view of how ZOG functions. The structures volume is good for a quick reference of what all of the ZOG records and types are. The files volume is useful to see exactly what files ZOG needs and what they are used for.
