- I just ported over the Forms library a couple of days ago from:
-
- archive.cs.ruu.nl 131.211.80.17
-
- in pub/SGI.
-
- It is a User Interface toolkit written by a Dutchman. I printed the
- documetation on it and learnt the stuff ( at least the basic stuff) in
- 2 - 3 hours. I thought it was great and real easy to use.
-
- My only worry: Is it standardized?? or rather popular enough?
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
- In the sense that if I go over to another machine in another location,
- can I expect the Forms library to be located there (with a reasonable
- chance)?
-
- Apart from this worry I thought Forms was a great User Interface
- library/toolkit (at least for the simple minded like me!).
