I totally agree with this. Using Python or your quick prototyping language of choice, you could have a UI in a night. Perhaps there needs to be something a little more generic, at least when we actually get to the FIFO part. Since we have a few FIFO communications programs (like ii) maybe a program that can take in/out files as parameters and creates a window would be beneficial. Obviously one portable solution would be to use GTK+C, but choose what you will. Regards, Lee
