Hello JT, Thanks for you feedback and the link to your page.
I had a quick look on your program and I can understand why you switched over to GTK. It is definitely the more modern tool-kit for user interfaces. Unfortunately, I do not have enough experience with GTK and Glade3 to write applications for it (yet). Your program also showed me some options, I did not even had in mind. Btw: The metric option did seem not to work (tested with Facing). For my project, I had the following main constraints: 1. No installation needed 2. Run on Lucid + Precise 3. One file 4. Easily extendible for everyone. 4. Get it done within my Christmas holidays (the main reason for tk). But I will rethink these constraints. Definitely I will have closer look on GTK and Glade again since I still have to add a <Manual tool change and length probe> panel to AXIS anyway. But this will take some time... Just recognised that I wrote "hello together"...how embarrassing.
