Watch that - I still use it for development and it has progressed a lot since then - and the library has a very active development team. It is small compact and very light - ideal for embedded applications and older machines and is a heck of a lot easier to program and produces far smaller code than either QT/KDE or GTK/GNOME. Many apps are avaliable that use FLTK and can be easily statically compiled without getting bloated. You may even be using FLTK apps without even knowing it. It is also IMHO the easiest to use truly cross platform GUI library. (Linux/Unix, MAC OS/X, OS/2, Windoze, ARM, DOS and more!) Mike -- Linux Rocks!
