Art,

We customize .icn files with Ivib interfaces at their ends all the time with
no significant problems later editing the interface.  I think the "interpose
in existing file" thing Robert mentions is the default behavior, or is even
hardwired to "on", in the current Ivib which I bet you are using.  I haven't
checked lately whether you need to uncheck specific code generation options
such as "generate main()" in order to not lose customizations to main(),
I'll ask my local Ivib guru.  One thing you do have to watch for is leaving
a text editor session and an ivib session open at the same time: each time
one saves, the other had better reread the .icn file or changes will go
missing.

The "interpose in existing file" feature is very conservative and does not
delete any source code just because you delete an interface component. You
get to delete the class field manually afterwards, for now.  This may get
automated in the future; or at the least I can add a compiler warning for
unused fields to help identify these.

Regarding renaming event handler methods, you can rename at will, but in the
current system you have to do a bit by hand -- Ivib generates a new blank
method with the new name, and you have to rename your old method to this
new method name, and remove the new blank method.

Lastly, regarding the differences between Robert's Ivib and the one on
sourceforge, I will just say that we indeed hope to get in sync with
Robert's latest work prior to Unicon exiting "beta test" status. Robert
has reorganized his gui.icn file into 59 separate source files in a new
package, and I have been slow to follow suit in the CVS repository out
of excess conservatism.
