rulers.lisp

[wilcox@cmns.think.com]

I have uploaded the file rulers.lisp to /pub/mcl/contrib/. This file implements
a new class called scrolling-window-with-rulers, built on
ccl::scrolling-window. There are methods to add and remove rulers from
the window, as well as a slot to control whether rulers are displayed
or not. This slot contains the window's zoom factor, which controls the
scale of the rulers. Ruler units can be set to any of three values,
and the mouse position is tracked in the rulers. Enjoy!

Following are some comments from the file.
