Hi Tim,
I tried BlueFish and Scream seems to hang but I'll give it a go. If the
BlueFish gang hangs in there, over the next couple of versions they will
have a nice product. Apparently, IBM is offering HP Builder - a Linux
version and it should be a full working demo. The full price is about
$69. I'll let you know a little later. By the way, whay happened to
pico?
