	wxWindows is a C++ class library for MS Windows, X/Motif, 
and SunView.  It's on par w/ MFC or OWL, except that it's totally 
free and comes w/ real tools (a couple of serious embedded lang tools, 
dialog editor, hypertext browser, etc) and the source for everything.  
It works w/ all of the major compilers (even older versions) for the 
DOS, *except* for DJGPP.

	The author has tried to make it work via RSXWDK2 (for Windows
apps) w/o success.  As always, the absence of debugging facilities was 
the stumbling block, especially important for something as large 
as wxWindows.

	It's possible that SWORD or TWS might be a wxWin target.  I've 
mentioned the idea to Eric Nicolas (the author of SWORD.)

	The Web site for wxWindows is located at:
