ok :-)

not sure to understand all what theese tools are doing,

do you think that you understood what RAPID does,
and that it could help you to make all UI of theese tools ?



i would like to ask you to try to compile RAPID and test it,


before i need to ask you:

- if you have a subversion client.
on Linux it shouldn't be a problem.
that's only for the time you want to test my patches, you needn't it for 
public versions.
for the other platforms you should be able to copy the code internally, 
from the Linux one.

- which kind of graphical toolkits are available, on each platform you 
need to run RAPID (or what it will have generated).
i don't think it's important your tools are currently using the same 
toolkit than RAPID, if you plan to re-do UI from sratch, but i may be 
wrong.
