From what I've read in the Atlanta DevCon notes >(admittedly outdated now) there are 11 basic gadget types and >menu support. Development since Atlanta has been 99% concentrated on fixing bugs and improving compatibility. GadTools as you are familiar with it (plus a little bit) will stand for now. >The notes make it clear that it >isn't done.

The notes try to emphasize that GadTools was designed to be extensible. They also discuss some of the avenues we are interested in exploring for future revisions. Comments about future intentions could be written for any of our modules. Do not let that lead you to believe that GadTools is in any way not ready or sufficient for general use. Do let it convince you that GadTools has a bright future, but that it also has a bright present. > -- Ethan Peter -- Peter Cherna, Software Engineer, Commodore-Amiga, Inc. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!peter peter@cbmvax.commodore.com My opinions do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employer.
