Very Computer

Hi,

I've been searching for a C++ tool to develop GUIs for X and
Windows. The three tools Amulet, V and wxWindows seems to be
very similar.
Which of them is recommendable?

Greetings,
Anke

First the disadvantages:

- It's a large library.  (Many bytes.)

Advantages (I'm just picking my personal favorites):

- It's a large library.  (Many features, very complete, about 5 years
  of development time, surely more than `V'.)

- The only freely available C++ lib supporting XWindow/Xt (i.e. a _free_
  X11 toolkit similar to Motif) _and_ XWindow/Motif (i.e. what many consider
  the `industrial standard GUI) _and_ XWindow/Xview (depracated) _and_
  MS Windows (3.x and NT).  There are also versions of the library for OS/2
  and MacOS.

- Supports drawing in OpenGL canvases and (soon) multi-threaded applications.

See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/ for comprehensive
wxWin info.  If you have more specific questions ("can it do ...?")
feel free to contact me.  There is also a new active mailing list,

`help' for a start).

Regards,
Wolfram.
