Eloquence Dialog Manual
Both Dialog Systems consist of two parts each. A runtime and a development system. The runtime system is controlled via the DLG API. It can create and manipulate the dialog by executing commands getting from the API, or creating a dialog by reading a definitionsfile. The ASCII DLG runtime system is included in Eloquence, exactly in the "eloqcore" program. The DM runtime system can be a separat program, if running on a client system. The definitionsfile has to be created with the development system. The ASCII DLG development system is simply a text editor. The Dialog Manager provide a graphical editor to create the definitionsfile. This file is also an plain text file, so it can be created and maintained with an text editor, too.
