Abstract

The Amulet research project is developing a new user interface development environment [2] which incorporates a number of design and implementation innovations including new models for objects, constraints, animation, output, input, commands, and undo. Amulet has an open architecture, so that user interface researchers can replace and extend components. Amulet, which stands for Automatic Manufacture of Usable and Learnable Editors and Toolkits, is implemented in C++, and runs on X/11, Windows NT, Windows 95, and the Macintosh.
