I am sorry.  I didn't intend to start an off topic thread on cross-
platorm GUI's.  I was merely responding to the suggestion that my time
might be better spent working on GNumeric and GTK+ for Windows rather 
than my own scheme based spreadsheet (which may well be true).

I fully intend to use the wxWindows library (www.wxwindows.org) as my
cross-platform GUI.  If some would like to discuss this further, please
email me privately.  I will be happy to discuss it.  Perhaps my work
will
even result in guile bindings for wxWindows.

Sincerely,

Derry Bryson
