Hi Dmitry

I was hoping you would post, thanks.

I seriously considered using your GTK contributions. It seems perfect for m=
e except for the fact that it involves GTK.  I am intimidated with the QT, =
GTK and WxWidgets landscape right now. I know I can get by just using their=
 APIs but if I want to do something special their enormous codebases are in=
comprehensible for me. I have been focusing on FLTK, Fox, Tk and don't laug=
h but Xforms. At under 100K lines of code(Tk is a little more) someone at m=
y competence level can still make changes/additions much like you did with =
GTK.

It may be trivial but once I am able to call entries I can turn a single th=
readed application into a multi-threaded one. One communication channel bac=
k that I am considering is returning a string  that would contain code that=
 an interpreted language could eval. I know eval is evil but if used sparin=
gly I think it could be quite powerful and I would not always have to retur=
n back code, it could just be a new value for a function to use with a widg=
et.

Thanks again, i am going to go for it-Patrick
