I know of only one other C++ based X toolkit and that is ET++ which is also free. I would be interested to hear of any others that are available. Doug Clinton -- Automatic Disclaimer: The views expressed above are those of the author alone and may not represent the views of the IBM PC User Group. -- Why can't you compare them? You can still use the C widgets from C++. It's more a question of functionality. Does the widget set allow me to write real applications at a high level of abstraction. I have been looking at InterViews and so far it seems like it might do the job. There is an example program and a couple tutorials available by anonymous ftp at interviews.stanford.edu for anyone who might be interested. I would like to hear from someone who has tried a couple of toolkits to explain the pros and cons of each. It's pointless to learn half a dozen toolkits, when one will do. The question is which one? Too many standards just makes life unnecessarily difficult. -Mike
