   I have never seen code to work with the NeXT GUI so I can't say.  I've
   heard from a few NeXT programmers that the IB is basically a requirement
   due to the time it would take to write the code by hand.  However, that is
   someone else's opinion. 

I don't know, I've never tried to program w/o IB.

   That's certainly not the case with the Amiga.

Then why isn't there more software other than games?  If it's so easy,
maybe you can convince Lotus to port Improv to the Amiga.
