Re: Considerations For A GUI Library for Euphoria

My starting point is: I am not a programmer, I do not want to know how this stuff works, I use text mode because is is easy, I want to use a gui sometime.
You're a good researcher and technical writer, so I figured it would be good to have your viewpoint on the available C-based toolkits.
I'm like you, though: my initial impulse is to prototype with a console UI, although EuGTK makes prototyping a GUI waaaay easier, so I'm leaning that way now. It is frustrating to read "Not available for Windows," but it is what it is. There are only a few cases, and I haven't experienced anything app-halting yet.
My next effort is to see how easy it is to prototype with Phix's pGUI (using IUP) library, which also seems pretty easy to use. I have a little experience with it, but not comprehensive.
