He also said that a dumb minimally usable GUI was ok as a starting point, as once the basic parts were implemented, it would be very easy to add the real functionality to the GUI later on. I'm working on a really simpleton version right now. (The scrollable window is in fact the first version that I've released which even uses any real GTK widgets besides the window itself. This is one major advantage that GTK has over Xlib - writting a scrollable window using Xlib would have been considerably more difficult.) If you are asking why I don't release a Win32 version with the scrollable window, it's mainly because I don't know what the Win32 equivalent of GtkScrollWindow is. -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty. Infinite precision begets infinite perfection.
