And Object-Tools makes a GUI builder. Probably ISE does. But it's definitely not a part of the language. For that matter, FXRuby exists, etc. And GUI isn't a part of the Ruby language, either. Eiffel either has or had better support from Glade than Ruby. Some dialects of Eiffel can easily call Java routines. Etc. But that's not making the GUI a part of the language. -- -- Charles Hixson Gnu software that is free, The best is yet to be.
