The lastime I tried Lesstif is with Mozilla....alas it broke a couple of things (granted that Mozilla's README forewarned about using Lesstif). Don't know how's the development now, but I fear that it won't be anytime soon before anything "clean" can be ported to commercial Unicies. But will seek the latest distribution and see how it goes.... that aside, I'm still torn between 1.x and 2.x should Lesstif fail to work out. Thanks guys. Regit "Glenn T.
