Re: Serial data to a gtk window

[lrcgtk red4est com]

I've been asked what I've learned...

It's funny, researching g_io_channel led me to the program gtkterm. 
I went through the code and found vte and vteterminal.
I went through that and was lead back to g_io_channel.

I realized I need to sync my palm pilot, and while I was doing that it
dawned on me that jpilot is written in gtk, and that it has a window
at the bottom of the screen that does something very similar to what I
want. That window is a gtk_text_view widget. I've looked at that code
and it seems like it should be easy.

The vte libraries look promising, but I can't find a decent tutorial
document on them.
