I missed that.. Sorry.. In fact, the wearings it offers, like native 
windows/GTK/motif etc.. are absolutely fabulous..

Not MDI exactly but a lot of child windows/embedded panes/complex controls like 
object/pixmap tree views etc. I doubt of Tcl/Tk can do that.. Imagine writing a 
word processor in it.. Even SDI..

No gripe.. I know it's very fast.. just that not for very complex UIs IMO..

And pgaccess.. haven't used it ever since I abondened RedHat.. Never found that 
on a default mandrake install and once I grew up to psql for everything, didn't 
miss that either..;-)

You are incorrect, if that's most proper. That's progammer's boss's decision...

It really hurts when you recommend hardware upgradation of a mainframe being in 
service for more than 5 years, 24x7, your boss makes a proposal out of it to 
replace it with windows terminal server and makes you sign it.. I felt like 
commiting suicide..
