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 :(

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...
