It consists of three components:

	Baby X - the GUI toolkit which allows small programs to run on either 
Linux or Windows with a graphical interface (a small number of files are 
switched depending on the target).

         Baby X RC - the resource compiler - a program weitten in C 
which converts resources - images, fonts, audio files etc, into 
compileable C code so you can easily get them inot Baby X programs.

         Baby X FS - the filing system - code that allows you to create 
a virtual drive on your computer and access files from it using special 
fopen(), fclose() functions, but standard library functions like 
fprintf() or fgetc() for the other operations. It consists of a library 
designed to be incorporated into The Baby X program itself, and a suite 
of supporting programs to generate the FileSystem XML files it relies on 
and to manipulate them. The jewel in the crown is the shell, 
babyxfs_shell, which invokes a UNIX-like shell which uses a FileSystem 
XML file as backing store.

They are designed to be used together as a single system for making Baby 
X programs. But each component is independent of the others and can be 
used on its own.
