Yes, that what we want (well, except for making ones naughty bits itty-bitty ;-). > It's a simple, portable GUI that will allow newbies to get consistent, pleasant, > portable results, and help professional, seasoned developers to get consistent, > pleasant, portable results :) Indeed, that is what we were trying to accomplish with Claw (other than portability to non-Windows systems). Which only goes to show while it is a good goal, it isn't easy to accomplish. OTOH, it really should be the goal, even if it isn't going to get accomplished. I can't imagine why anyone would want to make something that will only work for newbies, or has unpleasant results by default, or whatever. It's better to set the goals high, so that you at least have a chance to get near them. Randy.
