<p>Gorm is an application for creating the user interface (and possibly entire
applications) for a GNUstep application.  Initially a close clone of the old
NeXTstep 3.3 Interface Builder application, I expect that Gorm will mutate
beyond the capabilities of that app.
</p>
<p>GNUstep is an object-oriented programming framework and a collection of tools
developed for or using the GNUstep libraries.
</p>
<p>You can find out more about GNUstep at
<a href="http://www.gnustep.org">http://www.gnustep.org</a><br>
</p>
<p>The basic idea behind Gorm is simple - it provides a graphical user interface
with which to connect together objects from the GNUstep libraries (as well as
custom-written objects) and set their attributes in an easy to use manner.
</p>
<p>The collection of objects is then saved as a document which can either be
re-loaded into Gorm for further editing, or can be loaded into a running
GNUstep application in order to provide that application with a user
interface or some subsystem.

<p>This manual assumes a working knowledge of Objective-C and C.  These are 
necessary prerequisites to understanding some of the technical details and 
examples given here.
</p>
<span id="Major-features"></span><h4 class="subsection">3.1.1 Major features</h4>
<span id="index-features"></span>

<ul>
<li> Drag-and-drop creation of GUI elements from palettes.
</li><li> Run-time loading of additional palettes that may be written using an API
very similar to that of Apple/NeXTs interface Builder palette API.
</li><li> Direct on-screen manipulation of GUI elements
</li><li> Manipulation and examination of objects via inspectors.
</li><li> Drag-and-drop creation of connections between objects.
</li><li> Interactive test mode for interfaces/object-networks under development.
</li><li> Saving data in a format loadable by GNUstep applications.
</li></ul>

<span id="About-this-Manual"></span><h3 class="section">3.2 About this Manual</h3>

<p>This manual is ment to cover basic operation of the Gorm application.  It is not
meant to be a complete tutorial on GNUstep programming.
