I want to tap into your user interface handling experiences.  In our quest to
create a general purpose computer platform, one tool we will provide is a
user interface creation mechanism which can take one of many forms.  We
want to have a tool which runs on Unix (making it ever so portable :-)),
provides a WYSIWYG screen creator/editor and produces C++ code that makes use
of Xlib calls to drive the interface.  Do such animals exist?  Please send
me all your tips, experiences, opinions, anecdotes, hints...&c, &c, &c about
using such beasts  (well, at this point, software isn't exactly like a
domesticated pooch, is it, bringing us our slippers before we even realize
our feet our cold, no, it's still more like a wild stallion that we have to
tame so that it will bend to our will) directly to me.

                                         As always, thanks a bundle,

                                         Sue Cohen
