Thanks. I do have X11 and my fox app up and running now. Except it  
looks like a Win98 app. ugh! It looks that way under XP too, but who  
cares, that Windows.

The app I wrote using wx looked like a native Mac app and didn't  
require X11, but fxRuby has nicer bindings. Both looked pretty much  
the same on XP.

I'd use the Ruby-Cocoa bindings, but I need something that will run  
on Win2000/XP as well.
What have others used?

Cheers,
Dave
