Bach currently has (via IUP) labels, menus, buttons, radios,
checkboxes, single and multiline displays, a tree control and
a color selector. It has 5 prebuilt dialogs - alarm, list selector,
file selector, message, and scanf (input).
As far as I am aware the only thing missing is a vector and/or
bitmap canvas drawing capability. I believe that is implemented
in the cdraw dll, but last I checked the large manual was only
half translated to english.

I seem to be a rather mediocre webmaster 
I find it impossible to
keep all the parts & links in order.
