I wouldn't really care if I were going to be serious about it; I'd take the guts of the program and use a native X GUI (probably Tk in my case), or go to someone like Willows or Bristol Softworks (?) and use their MFC-for-X libraries. The Twin XPDK actually looked pretty neat back when it was easily available; these days it's too expensive for me to take it seriously. 8( > Dave Cornejo - Dogwood Media, Fremont, California -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
