Not an entanglement in sight. This is the first I've heard about libsx, but I'll be learning a lot more about it. So far I've found: * http://www.ee.usyd.edu.au/tutorials/ee_database/programming/libsx/libsx.html * http://www.nada.kth.se/~sungam/libsx/general.libsx.html * /usr/share/doc/libsx-dev/examples Unfortunately, a 5 minute Google search found no Python implementation of libsx. I don't need C for forms: The speed bottleneck is the typist anyway. But then again, I could have somebody define a form in some sort of data file, parse that and convert to a simple C program, call gcc to make it into an executable. Rapid Application Development, Army Surplus style, which of course makes me a pariah in the eyes of "real" programmers. Life's tough. Thanks so much for cluing me into this!
