At one point I began developing a set of Open Look classes for IV. Then 3.0 came along, I only had g++ to work with, I had a baby, things came up at work, there was an earthquake in Costa Rica... Anyway, I now have a real C++. When I get some time, I plan on reimplementing my Open Look stuff. > >The menubar of the 3.0 doc app looks a lot like the motif stuff.

That's why I'm doing OL and *NOT* Motif. >Thanks, and I'm sorry if I've blasphemed the holy GUI. > >Dan --- Greg Pasquariello grp@unify.com Unify Corporation Be good and never poison people
