Hm, ok, but if they are only synonyms for the same thing, then how do you distinguish by term, between GUI-only library (FLTK), Network-only libraray (POCO), Threads-only libraray (Pthreads)... and library that covers all (most) system operating system functions? I mean, it may seem as a bit debasemnt (I guess I choosed the right word :)) to FLTK to say that it covers only a subset of what other libraries cover, but it is the true that FLTK dosen't cover as many aspects (and I don't mean just the "makeup") as, for example wxWidgets, FOX or QT, in fact roughly it only covers GUI aspect, and that doesn't necessarily mean that FLTK worths less then those, but that it is focused on that aspect only, which may be useful for example in not bloating app with many uneeded stuff. I don't mean disrespect to FLTK, I'm using it also :) I just try to call things their true name without glorofication or disprage. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
