I am pleased to announce the availability of XForms home page
http://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/xforms  
Check it out.

What is XForms ?

XForms is a graphical user interface toolkit based on Xlib for X 
Window Systems. XForms is a portable and efficient C library that 
can be used in both C and C++ programs. The library works in all 
visuals, TrueColor (24bits or otherwise), PseudoColor and StaticColor 
(except B&W at the moment) and comes with a rich set of objects such 
as buttons, browsers, sliders, and menus integrated into 
an elegant event/object callback execution model that allows fast and easy 
construction of X-applications.  The library also defines an architecture
on which new classes of objects can be developed and thus extending the 
library.

Unlike other tookits, the Forms Library is very intuitive
and simple to use. You can start writing XForms based programs within 
an hour once you go though the first five pages of the documentation and 
have run and read a couple of the demos. 

XForms comes bundled with
- Precompiled library and header files for the following platforms:
   DecAlpha/OSF
   DecStation/Ultrix
   Linux 
   SUN (SunOS and Solaris)
   SGI 
   HP/HP-UX
   IBM/RS6000
   FreeBSD
   Convex
   Cray-C90
   Cray-YMP
- Source code for 45+ demonstration programs;
- Precompiled fdesign, an advanced interactive GUI builder that can
  be used to design dialogues in a WYSIWYG way and to output the
  corresponding C code for you.
- ~200 pages of documentation (tutorial and reference); 

FTP INSTRUCTIONS
The XForms package is available via anonymous ftp from 
bloch.phys.uwm.edu (129.89.57.24), directory [pub/xform].
Read the README file there. You will need the program gzip
to unpack the archive:
