- Hello Joseph!
- Well, I wouldn't recommend MUI unless it becomes part of the standard OS..
-
- Although MUI is pretty much a "plug and play" attractive GUI, your
- program will have better performance and be more future OS compliant
- if you use BOOPSI and gadtools. By using MUI, you will be limiting
- your audience to those that have MUI.
-
- An attractive and functional GUI can be accomplished with the standard
- Amiga interfaces/libraries, but it will take some additional work to
- define your own gadgets and handlers. Take a look at the newer
- SoftWood products (i.e. FinalData, FinalWriter, etc)- small, efficient,
- and functional.
