But I suspect the great : majority of interfaces used by C++ programmers are 'reused' C : interfaces. Actually Fresco's interface is defined in CORBA's IDL. Gee, I hate to take away the only example of an OS or a windowing system interface defined in C++. ;-) Hmmm. How about InterViews. I can't think of any others. Interviews is pure C++, not C. And also, Fresco is based upon Interviews, which makes it inherently C++. Not sure what you mean when you say: "Actually Fresco's interface is defined in CORBA's IDL." Could explain this? thanks. -- -- John Goodsen Currently on-site at: The Dalmatian Group JP Morgan User Interface Specialists 60 Wall St., New York City jgoodsen@radsoft.com jgoodsen@jpmorgan.com
