Mark Evans recently suggested that we develop better GUI tools. If the
suggestion was for Icon, it should say Icon not Unicon, otherwise you
confuse (and maybe irritate) some people. From the Icon standpoint, but not
speaking for the Icon project, I would say your request for better GUI tools
is valid, and you are welcome to develop and distribute such tools. I used
to sponsor student projects to improve VIB, but have given up on it.
Since Mark suggests new GUI "wrapper" classes for Unicon, I will post a
longer reply to the message to the Unicon list and hopefully we can have
a discussion of it there. Unicon stuff is accessed via
http://icon.cs.unlv.edu; the mailing list is up but not archived yet.
