Llama was an attempt to write a cross-platform GUI toolkit. It's based on an 
object-oriented framework. This made it relatively painless to add new 
components to the library, as opposed to the monolithic approach that 
Win32Lib took.

There is a Windows, Linux, and DOS version of Llama. The Windows used the 
Windows API - basically rewriting Win32Lib from scratch. The Linux version 
was built around the GTK toolkit. The DOS version implemented it's own 
controls.

Various shortcomings in the design, along with a realization of exactly how 
much effort it would take to maintain three separate platforms of code, 
convinced me to abandon Llama.
