But it is up to people like us, who are enthusiastic about free software, to remedy the situation, at least as far as free software is concerned. I say this with all seriousness. > Another thing that hinders open source software development in > India is the fact that there is no graphical frontend to gcc and > other tools. Ach! Pardon me for directly contradicting the above statement but no graphical frontend is required at least as far as developing software is concerned. That kind of interface is needed for the purportedly "dumb" user. In fact, a GUI can be a positive hindrance to using the full power of a Unix-like OS. I have still to figure out how one can use arbitrarily complicated pipes through a pull-down or drag-and-drop type of GUI. - Manas Laha -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
