Actually, most of it is. I think it would be pretty difficult to
separate out the X-centric code. You'd probably more or less have to
start with the API function calls and work your way down. One of the
ways that XForms is so relatively light weight is that it doesn't add
an extra layer of abstraction.
There was a group back on the east (US) coast who did try to do this
sort of thing with a system called 'SUIT.' It worked on Unix systems
and on Macs and PCs. I tried it. Among its several failings was that
it was pretty doggy slow.
I'd be interested to hear what TC has to say, though. XForms for
Windows -- YUCK!
