If there was a set of C++ classes that interpreted it and built up a GUI with the same look and feel, that might be useful. Then a server could project its own GUI api and leave it to the client side to choose C++, Java etc to build the interface at run time. I suspect that in most cases the bandwidth required to shift the XML GUI description would be quite a bit less than the compiled java classes. If this is so than "Even Cooler" would be XML GUI interpreter built into a Internet Browser. But am I running too far with this one? Nigel Hutchison Nigel W. O.
