Thanks. I think I looked at FLTK someone time ago. There are
number of GUI frameworks for use with C++. I looked also
at Qt with c++, but it is almost impossible to build
static app with Qt from what I found reading on it.

I downloaded an FLTK app, a nice one, and it was just ONE
single .exe file. This is what I want. No dll's and no
shared libraries to worry about. One file to move around.

Java has Jar files where one can pack everything in there,
but it needs a run-time library installed, or one must include
the JRE as well.

So that is another possibility to make small GUI app which
is one file that includes everything. But I think Java
is in a downwards slope now, with all the viruses that
are affecting it, so I am not interested in Java much
these days. Too bad, Java used to be called a safe
language, now all what you hear about Java is news and
information on how to uninstall it and remove it from the
PC due to risks in using it.
