/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  This is the core module of the form library. It contains the majority
  of the driver routines as well as the form_driver function. 

  Essentially this module is nearly the whole library. This is because
  all the functions in this module depends on some others in the module,
  so it makes no sense to split them into separate files because they
  will always be linked together. The only acceptable concern is turnaround
  time for this module, but now we have all Pentiums or Riscs, so what!

  The driver routines are grouped into nine generic categories:

   a)   Page Navigation            ( all functions prefixed by PN_ )
        The current page of the form is left and some new page is
        entered.
   b)   Inter-Field Navigation     ( all functions prefixed by FN_ )
        The current field of the form is left and some new field is
        entered.
   c)   Intra-Field Navigation     ( all functions prefixed by IFN_ )
        The current position in the current field is changed. 
   d)   Vertical Scrolling         ( all functions prefixed by VSC_ )
        Esseantially this is a specialization of Intra-Field navigation.
        It has to check for a multi-line field.
   e)   Horizontal Scrolling       ( all functions prefixed by HSC_ )
        Esseantially this is a specialization of Intra-Field navigation.
        It has to check for a single-line field.
   f)   Field Editing              ( all functions prefixed by FE_ )
        The content of the current field is changed
   g)   Edit Mode requests         ( all functions prefixed by EM_ )
        Switching between insert and overlay mode
   h)   Field-Validation requests  ( all functions prefixed by FV_ )
        Perform verifications of the field.
   i)   Choice requests            ( all functions prefixed by CR_ )
        Requests to enumerate possible field values

  Some remarks on the placements of assert() macros :
  I use them only on "strategic" places, i.e. top level entries where
  I want to make sure that things are set correctly. Throughout subordinate
  routines I omit them mostly.

/*
Some options that may effect compatibility in behavior to SVr4 forms,
but they are here to allow a more intuitive and user friendly behaviour of
our form implementation. This doesn't affect the API, so we feel it is
uncritical.

The initial implementation tries to stay very close with the behaviour
of the original SVr4 implementation, although in some areas it is quite
clear that this isn't the most appropriate way. As far as possible this
sources will allow you to build a forms lib that behaves quite similar
to SVr4, but now and in the future we will give you better options. 
Perhaps at some time we will make this configurable at runtime.
