Write structured or unstructured Linux applications ?

Unstructure programming is easiest in Linux applications. You just add plug-ins and add-ons and extensions on firefoe, Konqueror or even Dillo. You have the choice of putting programs on toolbars or taskbars. Unstructured just means not sequentially important in the steps you take to do a task.

Structured is also easy once you decided the functions you want in the programs. Then you use a gui interface for each function in firefox type of browser. Gui interfaces will popup or pulldown to a menu of structured functions. Usually in native language files, whether you compiled them from languages or even mixed scripts. Very small modules as interchangeable parts in binary lines of codes are used.

This type of programming is very often used in tiny Linux distros. Puppy had made people aware by an exercise on abiword. Very impressive in the click and run world of Linux modernization. However, a lot of time was wasted. If only they had spend the time doing it to firefox with all the codec capabilities. Austrumi used it in their ppconfig for dialup modem to connect to ISP. Very clever but could be polished a little more, except they hope to instruct students of Linux distros to learn structured click and run programming in Latvia.

All this makes Linux click and run programmers learn fast and produce usable Linux distros with some simple automation. Then these structured programs, however small, can be incorporated into large unstructured application programs on their toolbars and taskbars.
