I suspect the steepness of the learning curve is strongly
correlated with how expert a C++ programmer one is. Being not just
familiar, but comfortable with inheritance and subclassing is a
perquisite to effective use of InterViews IMO. The mental model I use
for IV programming differs greatly from that for, say, Mac Toolbox or
sx (I haven't had to use more recent C X toolkits, which I'm grateful
for, having skimmed some of the documentation :-)
