I think realistically the only three durable options are 1.) Adobe Flex with the AIR library - fairly portable to<br>W/M/L and their new release has one of the best text-layout libraries I&#39;ve seen; But also see my earlier<br>
comments. 2.) Silverlight - with the obvious microsoft attributes, and 3.) HTML 5 which looks like it may <br>be an option sooner rather than later.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 6:04 PM, James Adcock <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:jimad@msn.com">jimad@msn.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

writer, but that is not the problem.  The problem is not having a portable GUI
system that I’d be happy to write tools on that work on the variety of machines
PG/DP people work on.  If you know of a portable GUI library system that you
think is really really good let me know – everything I dig into ends up
disappointing me.</span></p>
