[ODE] a gui-related question

[mike polyakov]

The answers have been very helpful.  I guess i'll investigate Qt and 
FLTK.  Right off the bat, i like the absence of macros in FLTK.

On the other hand i was considering doing the gui in java and connecting it 
to the c++ ode-tied application via sockets.  (Just because i'm used to 
swing, (almost) no learning curve).  Interaction between the two would be 
fairly limited, but not rare.  Is this a viable course?

John -- While Pakoon's approach looks really nice, i need more input 
ability; i'm actually looking for dialogs and menus.
