    Yeah, why create from scratch when there is a load of code out there
waiting to be pulled in or learned from.....?
    Anyone have any experience with CLX under Allegro CL?  Got it working
last night mostly (hell, it seems to work anyway) -- would it be a *bad*
thing to base some GUI stuff on CLX?
