I saw Arrow, a new mail program at freshmeat. Arrow depends on jx so I downloaded both but haven't attempted to do anything w/ it yet so I have no idea how hard a port it is. At my present rate and list of things to do it's low on my priority list. I'd be happy to help you test/develop a port though. If no one else touches this I would eventually get to it, but I wouldn't hold your breath waiting. :-) <description left below since this originally went to -questions> > (From the homepage at http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/jx/) > > "JX is a full-featured application framework and widget library for use > with the X Window System.
