Is winterp actually used by anyone? If you use it, how much do you
like it? how well does it compare to other packages.

I've been using DEC's VUIT for some months now and quite like it. VUIT
does not have an interpreter in it as winterp claims to have, which
sounds like a nice feature (is it actually very useful?).

I don't understand the uil war. VUIT uses uil, and I don't have any
problems with it. Uil is a bit slow at start up, and there are some
pecularities in how it handles some widgets (ie, scolled windows), but
it is otherwise not much of an issue. Our application is probably a
medium sized one (~90k lines of uil and ~200k of source that is
directly related to the display processes)
