Oh, that's been one of my pet peeves for a long time now. The closest we have is awful's $db procedure. I've toyed with the idea, but I am afraid I'm not knowledgeable enough about all RDBMS to come up with a decent API.

2011/3/31 Steve Graham > Can someone point me to some info on this? Hello Steve, there is compiler support for executables marked as GUI applications through the -gui command line option. But to actually create a GUI, you will have to use one of the eggs providing bindings for user interface toolkits [1]. All the Tk and Qt based ones should, in principle, work under Windows. The IUP binding is also known to work under Windows. > Also does Chicken Scheme have a method for accessing databases? Yes, check the eggs providing database functionality [2]. However, there is currently no database-independent layer like Perl's DBI module that provides a uniform API for all other relational database drivers.

Hi Steve! * Steve Graham [110331 18:08]: > Can someone point me to some info on this? Also does Chicken Scheme have a > method for accessing databases? > Thanks, Steve The most advanced windows gui atm is IUP IIRC. There is also an easy installer to get running with it on windows. The installer can be found at http://www.kiatoa.com/setup-chicken-iup.exe Also there are several eggs available for accessing databases: postgresql, sqlite, couchdb, tokyocabinet, estraier, ... See http://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-projects/egg-index-4.html#db for a complete list.
