I guess this sort of framework should exist in both terminal mode as well as X11. In which case I believe ncurses and/or Soren's SVGA lib (? or the like) plays an important role, since upon fresh installation, not every machine will have X11 installed. Can Taligent's OO-framework philosophy apply well in this situation ? If so, this will make a good starting point. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ M.C Wong Email: mcw@hpato.aus.hp.com Australian Telecom Operation Voice: +61 3 272 8058 Hewlett-Packard Australia Ltd Fax: +61 3 898 9257 31 Joseph St, Blackburn 3130, Australia OS: FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 http://hpautow.aus.hp.com:9999/~mcw/mcw.html (or http://hpautorf/~mcw)
