No I recall one more thing,

For many years we've had a GUI in erlang which is
direct interface to X Athena widgets. It's been called
pxw and has been in use since ... maybe 1992. Anyway, we
choose not to relase that since it only ran on unixes.

The gs ain't that great either, it's slow and ugly, but
it does run on unices+win32.
So does etk, which a lot better than gs, but doesn;t have many
applications yet. In particular we need need to port the debugger to
etk. Phuu boring work.

It must have been a missunderstanding then because they were ment to be
left out since the much better replacments do already exists ie IDL
communication with the help of the IC (in both version) that gives much
better performance than IG and Jive. Correction the Java backend is not
released yet (I think) but will be in the next OSE release.

Well, maybe I'm wrong,but as far as I recall, the IC libs were not
in a representable state in the release that OSE is based on. That
would be R4B in erispeak. So, we had the choice of shipping nothing
or IG+jive.

We're all eagerly waiting for the next OSE release with
the new IC libs. For readers of this list that have never
heard of IC (the Interface compiler) it's a compiler
that compiles IDL specs into interfaces that can be used
by erlang programs to communicate with C/C++/Java programs
and vice versa. Just what we all need.

Anyway, I'm sorry if we released a buggy IG lib that you
would prefer buried and forgotten for ever :-)

Cheers

The error is more likely to be in the erl_interface library, i.e not in IG.
