Re: GTK Coding Conventions

[Rick Sutphin <sutphinc bellsouth net>]

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the response. I am currently trying to work my way through 
the GObject turorial; it is somewhat beyond my current coding ability. 
Is there other ways of coding that would let me write more modular 
programs that are not as complex as GObject?

Thanks,
Rick
