**************** Needed info on TOOL-TOOL ************************* Those of you that have struggled with Sunview know how hard it it to put together a complex arrangement of buttons, sliders etc on a screen, I mean in terms of placement etc. Also trying out different sizes, fonts etc take a lot of time. What is needed here is a TOOL-TOOL - a tool that will let you interactively specify where you want the panels, buttons, sliders, canvasses etc., and when you hit "go", it will either write the code for you or atleast give the parameters to use in the calls to window_create. I was told by our Sun-rep that sun is working on such a tool, but with low priority. When we know that high priority items such as 4.0 are delayed an year, you can imagine when the tool-tool would be out. He also told me that IDE had such a tool. Apparently someone at IDE worked on it for his masters thesis. I would be interested in obtaining information, source, or binary of such a tool-tool if any of you out there have it. You can email me at sun!gotham!ursa!raj.
