I wonder if anyone has thought about developing an OCaml interface to FOX (www.fox-toolkit.org)? Though I haven't done any serious programming with it yet, I've tried out a couple of FOX applications, and was quite impressed with the quality of the interface. If you read the Goals & Approach statement on the Web site, it's also very impressive. I think OCaml + FOX could be a winning combination. Unfortunately, I don't know C++, or I'd write the wrapper myself. But if anyone else feels like taking it on, I'm happy to help with testing and documentation. -- Matt Gushee Englewood, CO USA ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
