The idea being that if plib was stripped down to only the essential elements needed to support the GUI functionality, it might be more managable to improve incrementally as time goes on. The library could be renamed "GUIGear" and be maintained along with the other *Gear projects. It would also have the advantage of dropping an external library dependancy. g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind.
