Yes I got two other replies by email that pointed me to Tk and
I have in fact ordered the book today since it seems like
this is the way to go whether doing it from c or Python or
Icon. I had no idea of the huge support of Tk.
What would be preferable, a straight Icon-Tk connection or a
connection that tries to follow the present Icon graphic
conventions? I guess that the former is easy and the latter
is better.
Not that I _plan_ to do anything but I'm playing with the
thought of having a fun christmas project...
