But, I am just an old fuddy duddy. This is pretty much what MUI 4 is - actual new functionality is thin on the ground - it's mostly improvements to the standard functions that are available. Certain values in certain objects can now be set() instead of just get() for reference.. this isn't a massive deal. >> It is not.

Writing a GUI is a complex process: you need to know what you're doing. MUI's strength is that it gives programmers the tools they need to get the GUI out of the way, and it gives GUI designers the tools they need to quickly generate the GUI they really want. But if you're only one or neither, you're going to end up with an ugly and/or useless app at the end of it, whatever toolkit you use. MUI can't magically stop people from making user interface hall of shame candidates ;) >> If you want to see MUI 4.0 in action, run MorphOS and download the >> MUI PPC previews.

I'd rather have a 450MHz 68060 with an 833MHz G4 running most of my OS native *cough* :) -- Matt _____________________________________________________________________ Voyager Mailing List - http://v3.vapor.com/ Voyager FAQ....: http://faq.vapor.com/voyager/ Listserver Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=HELP Unsubscribe....: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=UNSUBSCRIBE
