I'm currently using Glockenspiel CommonView along with Glockenspiels C++ 2.0
which enabled a non-PM programmer (me!) to write a small application in
a week. The ease of creating and using graphical dialog elements stunned me.
Possibly a PM whiz can comment on this?
Besides, Commonview code should be portable between PM, MS Win 3.0a and Motif.
Of course you must use C++, but it's no pain to learn.

Second, I have a flyer from a german company, ISA, which describes a tool
called 'Dialog Manager'. It seems to be a sophisticated GUI builder that
interfaces to C, C++, Fortran, Pascal and, sigh, COBOL. Ports to MS Win 3.0
and Motif also.
ISA can be reached at info@isaak.uucp

If you get more info, would you please summarize to the net?
