Well, you can add to fltk (-: It is a rather nice framwork. For apps using XForms, if the app itself is free it can go to contrib, else it goes to non-free. The rule here is if the lib, app, etc. it DFSG compliant but requires a non-DFSG compliant piece it goes to contrib. Obviously if it too is non-DFSG then it goes to non-free, no questions asked. At one time fltk was to be a XForms replacement. This changed. Darn shame. Seems the Windows support helped make it less X complaint. You can look at GTK see if it can help. I have a lib here called EZWGL (have not messed w/ it much). It seems nice. Search on freshmeat.net for news purveyor, it uses the toolkit. Or as I mentioned, you can add to fltk. The author is very keen on people helping to make it a better lib. Several pieces were recently added by a few mailing list readers. We should see them in Debian soon. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
