Once again to methods creating user interfaces:

A system is as popular as it's users are able to control the system. So we
need some tool for preferences.

It was very nice, getting some suggestions for existing interface tools and
libraries. But none of them were relieable, good looking and easy to use enough
for beeing used as linux main control interfaces.

After testing dozents of packages, there were only two left:

- motif (too large files with static library linking)
- Object Interface from ParcPlace

The last package was copied both on the sunsite server and on the slackware
distribution. It consists of only three disks with libraries, interfacebuilder
and examples. I wasn't able to link the library. Can anyone wo has an idea how
objects are linked please test this and report me how to compile/link the
interfaces. I want to use this library for creating the control.exe-files for
Linux.
