I am considering Lightspeed C for writing a Mac application.  I
am underimpressed with the standard Mac procedures for
manipulating a graphical interface.  What I would like is a set
of library calls that allow me to easily set up menus, permit the
user to manipulate icons and arcs between icons, enter text
boxes, push buttons, etc, without all the mess.  Ideally, the
interface would allow the declarative specification of what menus
are available, the icon set, and the text boxes associated with
icons, and would simply invoke the main program anytime a menu
selection was made or button pushed.  The iconic information
would simply be present in a global data structure.  Any
suggestions?  I would be interested even in something less than
the ideal as long as it was better than the standard tool box.
