H Eitan,

> where can i find out more about daan's gui generator?

try ftp://ftp.snow.nl/pub/castor
there are some archives there, no documentation. One of the archives contains a 
patched castor. The others example applications.

I will try to continue put in the odd hour a week, but can't guarantee it, so there is 
no real support for now.

Also maybe contact "Kurt Spanier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>". He is 
thinking to do it all over (and probably better).

Have fun and good luck.
