Re: [Gcl-devel] WIN32 / TK

[Jacques Mequin]

Thanks,

I cannot try today but I will do it in a near future

Basically, as an EDA developer, I am using functional language 
to create fast to prototype and deliver "in-house" tools to the 
circuit designers around me 

Until now, I was using "scheme" (Stk, Bigloo, etc ...) that do
have a direct TK graphical interface 
It should be noted that Bigloo also have a Java "swing" hook

Recently, I have also used the "OZ" language for solving problems
with constraints   

With ACL2, I am now about to become familiar with GCL that I plan
to also use independently as a powerful language
Having a graphical interface is important

I will tell you if "japi" is fine

Regards,
  Jacques
