Hi Pieter,
	there are a number of GUI on the go or half finished.  Sword 2.1 is one
and RSX is another and Malcolm in Australia has a third.  All of these
are in the djgpp simtel spot.  There is also a fourth it`s called V and
I am or was working at porting it from Watcom and various gnu versions
into djgpp.  Bit stuck again but working on it.  Sitting back and
looking at all this GUI inventive effort I'm asking about focus or
should we just have fun.  There is also activity on Sword 2.5 in Belruse
and another group working on Sword 3.0 in France.  I think there is a
lot of GUI out there not too well documented.  From what I`ve seen V has
the most documentation and my interest.  It might be better just to
evaluate all of these various GUIs and start with that.  My effort so
far has been frustrated with crashing my system, blank screens and stuff
that failed to compile.  Even though my monitor looks great in win95 in
some cases I need better visa support to work with some of these
packages.  They are not plug and play.  Not as impressive as djgpp or
rhide.
