Just to straighten some stuff up...
I've been working on Shaker for some time... it was said that I use
AfterStep for it's development... not ture... AfterStep is a window
manager for X... plain and simple...
Ok... real business, I chose to use xforms for development beause it has
most of the features looked for (previous message mentioned these)
+ Linux/X support
+ freely distributable sources & widgets
+ no OSF Motif required (optional is okay)
+ C++ or C, no scripts
+ preferably includes interface builder/editor
+ NT support higly desirable for cross-development
+ allow for Mesa/OpenGL and GLUT use
With the exception of the NT portability, xforms has all this, which
makes it good... because I don't have NT to test and NT version on...
...Matt
