There was a rather interesting talk at the recent EUUG conference in
Brussels (Belgium) on splitting a program into two parts
- the functional part
- the user interface
In doing this, You can use the functional part as a filter or inside
a shell script.
Buit IMHO this also will allow You to
- use different user interfaces (icons, menus, command line args)
- run functional part and user interface on different machines.
