The current complete "Dr Wimp package" (as defined for Conditions of Use) comprises the following downloadable files:
- DWxxx.zip
- Docsxxx.zip
- Elixirs.zip
- Utils.zip
- Examples.zip
All the above files are normally upgraded with each new release. Therefore it is important not to mix files with the same name from different releases.
DW500.zip (95k) - the new !MyApp skeleton application, including the DrWimp library and !RunImage - plus Upgrading instructions and a 'ReadMe' text-file listing the contents of the total Dr Wimp package; plus text-files giving the Version Release History and Credits (N.B. This version should run OK with all RISCOS Versions from 3.60 upwards.)
Docs500.zip (930k) - up-to-date documentation for the above Version. Includes Manual in both Impression Publisher and plain text versions, Upgrading instructions, History, Conditions etc. and Tutorial support material. Also includes !Fnc'n'Prc to display/seach/print wimp- and user-function definitions - and a similar StrongHelp file. (The Manual is also available in other formats, see below.)
Please note that the documentation for Elixir_08 (the OLE Elixir) is contained separately with the Elixirs, see next item.

Utils.zip (520k) - several utilities to add to the usefulness of the package. Including: !Fabricate (creates customised skeleton applications); window template editors !TemplEd and !WinEd; !CodeTemps (converts window/icon templates to exact wimp-function Basic code for creating windows/icons within the code, instead of loading from templates, if so required); several optional post-programming utilities to 'link', compress and 'make absolute' your finished product.
Examples.zip (221k) - 25 well-commented small applications demonstrating various aspects of using Dr Wimp - so you can see complete and real examples of how it's done.
