- A slightly over-the-top "best" is to use Zinc, and application
- framework that will give you the added benefit of being able
- to port your code to: Windoze, OS/2, Mac, X/Motif, Nextstep
-
- Also, rather nice implementation of event-driven programming.
-
- Why "slighty over-the-top" ? Well, you could probably get sufficient
- GUI style functionality much more simply. (so what does best mean ;-)
