The Right Thing To Do is to separate the GUI from the main code in a clean design, so selection of a toolkit can be done in a higher level, with a good design pattern. I'm thinknig Qt is a better toolkit at this point than Gtk/Gtk+, but that's just coz that's the one I'm planning on using for my DF fixing code and I'm spending time learning it. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
