Well, there is the Perl/Tk toolkit that can provide a gui. The only drawback is
that it requires the (free) X11 server to be running.


Another slicker choice would be Aqua Tcl/Tk. It comes with a "native" gui interface.
but it requires downloading the (free) Aqua Tcl/Tk system.


Cocoa has a nontrivial learning curve...

I have a program that I am writing on Mac OS X. It might need to run on OS 9, but I can probably avoid that.

I will state up front that i prefer Linux, mainly because I know it better. (And I find the way the Mac does things to be totally alien to what i am used to.)

I need a very simple set of interface elements.

I need a file selection dialog.

I need a dialog that supports multiple (more than three) buttons.

A selection list dialog that returns an index.

That is pretty much it. The rest of the code is pretty much done. all I need is the GUI code.

Suggestions?

All the examples I am finding are not giving primitives, they are giving "talk to this app over there and tell it do do something".

Maybe i need to break down and learn Cocoa and Objective-C.
