Command line purists may disagree, but personally I find it easier to choose options from a well laid out gui than editing a large text file. This could be another useful application for libh. Personally I think TVision is pig ugly. Both Qt and GTK have versions that render to a frame buffer - would it be possible to have a third target for VGA capable displays using FreeBSD's frame buffer interface? Qt/Embedded is under GPL unfortunately but AIR GTK is LGPL. Thoughts? -- C-YA Jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-libh" in the body of the message
