Updated June 24, 2010

This is an X-Windows based version of My-T-Soft for Build-A-Board layouts.  This is the pre-release demonstration version for the 2.20 upcoming release.

There are 2 builds:
One is built for 32-bit (gcc target: i486-linux-gnu)
One is built for 64-bit (x86_64) (gcc target: x86_64-suse-linux)

You will be able to run the 32-bit on either a 32-bit or 64-bit system.  The 64-bit build will not run on a 32-bit system.

This is a Demonstration version, and will only operate for 100 button actions (typed letters, layout changes, etc.)  For more information, please contact Innovation Management Group, Inc. See http://www.my-t-soft.com

If not extracted with file attributes:
The executable file mytsoft needs to be tagged as an executable, e.g "chmod +x mytsoft"
The executable file macrobat needs to be tagged as an executable, e.g "chmod +x macrobat"

If run from the command line/terminal, use an & after the command to run as a background/non terminal process, e.g. "/home/user/my-t-soft/mytsoft &"

If run as a shortcut/desktop link, be sure any launch feedback is disabled - in KDE, this under properties | Application Tab | Advanced | "Enable launch feedback" (should be cleared)

The file KEYBOARD.KBF must be created from Build-A-Board 2.20.  It should be in the same folder as mytsoft.

Various commands are not supported.  Only the CMD:CLOSE, CMD:MINIMIZE, and CMD:NKBF are implemented. It is functional within its given limitations.

By default SELECT.KBF is the opening KEYBOARD.KBF, which ties together the various other layouts - the other layouts are purely samples to show off some of the possibilities - they are not necessarily fully functional, and not every option has been optimized for X Windows.  However, this shows off the NKBF operation nicely.
