Thanks, David. I had hoped for pointers to documents; this is beyond that. I'm looking for a tool for making quick applications. Primary concerns: Speed of coding and debugging Speed of GUI design, especially dialog box style windows "lamp" indicators TCP/IP and serial I/O Ability to read and write arbitrary files Ease of parsing datagrams and streams (my syntax) double-click-ables (standalone) Secondary concerns: Ease of parsing datagrams and streams (other's syntax) control design XML parsing general system, I/O and file can-do multi-platform (Windows & linux) reliability learning curve Here, "secondary" doesn't mean unimportant; it means slightly less important. A "stream" means tcp, file, or process.
