Maybe there are any (free) > implementations out there ? We are not aware of any efforts to make Beta bindings for Qt or Gtk. As you say, it is simpler to call C code than C++ code from Beta, which would seem to make Gtk a better fit, but we haven't made any decision on whether to switch toolkits, and if so, which one to use. If anyone is working on this we would be interested to hear about it. -- Erik Corry
