Some one who can create a better GUI file for Linux would be
appreciated too :)

P.S. GraphApp is great for simple programs, but for something complex,
one needs something better, and the GTK.E file is improperly wrapped,
I believe, and thus unuseable, execpt for simple programs.

P.P.S. 2 examples: llama/gtk's MLE's set method fails, and
it's menubar is at the bottom, and not the top.

P.P.P.S. On this list, Irv once asked how David managed to get GTK.E to work,
I believe he opened a dll that the gtk main so file was dependant on.

P.P.P.P.S. Anyone have info on wrapping Xlib, or wraping something like
Qt for Eu?

TIA,
jbrown
