What about Tk/Tcl ? I was able to use Tk/Tcl from TASH with Ada and run
the program under Windows 95/NT and UNIX without modification !!!
No it's not a dream anymore Tk/Tcl is there, it is plateform-independant
(Windows, UNIX MAC), it's quick (v8.0 is bytecoded), it's easy to use,
it's very powerfull... I've seen some Tk/tck GUI and was really impressed...
And from a Tk/tcl point of view, Ada is not out, THANKS to Jerry Westley for the
TASH binding.
Pascal.
