So far the big OO packages that I have in mind are:
Qt	GUI

ACE	comm gear 

ILU     comm gear <can't decide yet between ILU or ACE>
        this package is interesting also because W3 is considering using
        it for web stuff. ILU has enough comm infrastructure to support
	HyperActive Documents -- well Microsoft uses Active "xxx" we
	will use HyperActive technology 8)

std++   standard template library to avoid doing or supporting generic 
        algorithms

InterViews <probably will get rid of it>

doc     is an app <the starting point . Just call it a place to hold
                     experiments. The final program may not have anything
                     to do with "doc">

The above list is by no means complete just what I am starting out with.

Why "doc"?

Good question!! Maybe because is a nice object oriented editor which we can
study and change? Is "doc" ready for "commercial" use? Hell no otherwise
I wouldn't be trying to do the project.

Briefly, there is enough technology floating around to build a very
WYSIWIG thingy -- if we do it right the same tool can be a spreadsheet,
drawing , imaging, document program with hopefully loadable modules .

	Cheers,
	Amancio
