I really sincerely hope you're kidding. This kind of thinking quite simply defies all logic and reason. > ETK being a simple wrapper to EWL would avoid code duplication, > would centralize the efforts, and would help the users choose their > API more easily.. instead of saying : "you have two toolkits, choose > one", one could say "EWL provides you with widgets, and ETK wraps it > into a higher level API".

I think those who are not authors of the aforementioned toolkits need to BUTT THE HELL OUT and stop trying to make decisions for projects that don't involve you, that you don't understand, and that you have no business interfering with. If you want a widget library to wrap EWL, write your own. Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
