Is there any chance of a class interface to the Window Boss package? I've
thought about doing one, but I think just overlaying C++ code to the C
function calls would be a little false.  Looking at the Window Boss in an OOP
way, one sees a few defeciencies in the package that would make it undesirable
to simply program a class interface on top of it.  And, I don't have the
sources as I can't afford them.

Star Guidance, you listening out there? Any C++ hackers done a class interface
for a windowing system?
