<DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thank you lots. </DIV> <DIV>Yes, I agree with U both, 100%.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>However, this is a College project; and we are required by the department to write the application using C++.</DIV> <DIV>We must select any combination of those libraries, one or more (or all?!) to produce the code. We are allowed yo use a database engine for the central reservoir (MySql sounds like first choice), but the main purpose of our course is to show evidence of our mastering Portability adn standards. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>None of us has a large experience (average age is 21), so we still hold our first doubts:</DIV> <DIV>How are those libraries related / dependent on one another / conflicting? </DIV> <DIV>Can we combine them? </DIV> <DIV>It all looks like a trapping plot for us to use a collage of things that should not be mixed; a scheme made up by
our professor.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Is X-Lib the basis for all of them? </DIV>
<DIV>Are they related in any form to Unix-Curses? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>We agree, and it was our first thought, to use a script language; but we got a loud NO from our "lovely" coach. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thank U again.</DIV> <DIV>Frank. </DIV> <DIV>_____________________<BR><BR><B><I>Basil Fowler <bjfowler@chanzy.eclipse.co.uk></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Estimado Sr Quntero<BR><BR>From what I read, this looks like a large database project.
