Hello Tech.writers,
I would like to pass on a hearty thanks to everyone that sent along
information on GUI building. I'm off to the library to see what I can find.
For anyone interested, I am passing along a list of the references sent my
way; they are in various states of completeness. I hope others will find
this useful. Thank again. Greg
