Conerning JPTUI, I have two further suggestions:
  1. Why does it require mouse driver to be installed - pretty annoying when
one (as me) doesn't have mouse driver installed in AUTO*.BAT - I need to
install the driver everytime. The library should work also without driver in
memory.
  2. There should be more virtual members in the library. Writing a new,
derived class right now is almost writing it from scratch.
