Check it out: http://tvision.sourceforge.net > Just wondering if you have the choice of starting from scratch and I suppose you are going to use reasonable hardware, why not develop everything using Java? It is so messy to develop gui's in C/C++. On the other hand, tcl/tk dont make nice gui's. Another thing. I am a not tvision user but given the choice on the same scenario and I am constrained to use C/C++, I rather develop my gui using Qt and vim (maybe with a little help of Qt Designer). Given that you are using standard c/c++ libraries, gui's designed in linux will compile with little modifications in Windows. rowel _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
