- Well, if you want to use my toolkit you can actually go out and buy a book
- telling you all about it - XView programming manual, O'Reilly & Associates.
- Sorry, couldn't resist it. Now can we stop with all this stupid "my toolkit
- does whatever" business?

- Well, I've learned damn quickly to love it. Just goes to show that these
- things are not absolutes, doesn't it? Perhaps if we all realised that what
- we personally like and dislike doesn't really matter then we'd get something
- decided a whole lot quicker?

- Now there I agree, but I'm quite happy to let the individual user make his own
- mind up. If your library enforces your likes/dislikes then its flawed.
