Yes...I just took a look at Java-WorkShop on my Win95 machine (Baldur's Gate doesn't run under *any* Unix that I'm aware of *sigh*) and it pretty much does what I'm looking for...but runs dog slow (who would have thought, Microsoft and slow!) I don't need it to build up the 'guts', only the GUI interface that the user sees, and I've always hated designing/writing UIs :( > (BTW - I use FreeBSD full-time to do my commercial java work.

This is why I'm trying to move towards Java...my client is pretty much *pure* Microsloth, so I'd like to be able to *design/build* in my environment, but give him product that will work in his...
