The first working prototype of GWindows a Win32 RAD development enviornement
that covers all aspects of the Win32 GUI (including important common
controls like tree views, list views, tab control, etc. and ActiveX control
support) is now available at http://www.adapower.com/gwindows . The
framework is a little "raw" and not heavily tested, but still usable.  I
plan on doing a full review of the framework and the various techniques it
uses, then starting the second phase (to become version 1.0) of its
development (full clean up and stronger typing, ie there will be spec
changes, testing, completion and augmentation of all current features,
database controls and printing support). Discussion of the framework takes
place on the GNATCOM-list you can join by sending the the word subscribe in
