Just a word of warning. this link is not to the original fresco, but to Berlin/fresco which hi-jacked the original. It is a complete replacement for a windowing system such as X. As well aS A gui toolkit. The original fresco ( including interesting papers ) is available from TargetJr. I think it is in fresco-98.tgz The original fresco originally ran on Windows, Unix/X and I think Mac's. What it added over functionality in Interviews was platform indepence and Object Linking and embeding via a CORBA 1.x orb. It also had persistence via CORBA serrialization service. Interviews is still maintained by Vectaport and is available here http://www.ivtools.org/ivtools/index.html They have an excelent collection of papers and pointers to the original papers as well. I'm not a GUI specialist, but few GUI libs that I have seen have such an elegant design. That is very extensible. It may be a starting point for use with more modern C++ techniques. BTW the license is X style and compatible with boost iirc. /ikh _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
