You also want to offer multiple GUI rendering systems, but that will really make it very hard to provide a Generic API for GUI (to be used from all TCL code, Plugins included), and providing XML files that will satisfy both renderes will be impossible. So really, this simply won't work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
