Yeah, I did use text_gui, FF was started some 3 years ago I think, back when there was no win32lib or dos32lib and text_gui was the best thing going. I subsequently wrote so many dialogs for it I was loath to change, and well, it's now familiar and easy. Plus the fact that dos32lib does not yet support some controls (which ones were they again?) Text_gui did need some massaging to work predictably in graphics modes, I seem to recall correcting some half-dozen or more minor bugs and adding as many modifications over those years. My overall vote for text_gui: most excellent. I expect to move FF to the Windows platform as soon as the Win32 gui wrapper coalesces to some final form. It would be interesting to see text_gui running in Linux, but it is debatable how many people would use it considering the advancement of Llama... Matt Z.
