David:
I was also thinking in interfacing Euphoria to Tk.
I=B4ve been using Tk for a while, and it seems to cover all the needs for a =
GUI.
Beside this,as you stated, is cross-platform, and is written in C with
public-domain source code and *lots* of extents. Have you seen vtcl (Visual
Tcl)?.
There is also a nice paper on interfacing Tk with C at
http://users.vnet.net/drh/ET.html (Embedded Tk).
Since Euphoria is coded in C there should be no problem for Robert to write
such an interface...
And we could enjoy a portable platform (as soon as we have Euphoria ported ;=
-)
>3. General comments?

I agree in that some kind of cross-platform GUI generator is mandatory to
speed up the development of Euphoria applications. We should think that
with a very little programming resources, Euphoria development has arrived
very quickly to a mature level. Compare it to Visual Basic or other
Micro$oft pproducts, for instance. How long has taken to Java to establish
itself in the market?. And with how many people developing behind?.
Jesus, (sincerely believing in the future of Euphoria).
