This thread should continue under the proper title since it's been hi-jacked . I didn't read your entire post.

Mail suprisingly uses a database backend to manage their files which may helped open eyes of the ways they could use them in other ares of the desktop. For instance, w/ sparkle you could write a simple program to do what you need as defining tables and relationships is easy. They also have a 3d engine so you can emerse yourself in the database and fly around the tables! Is it possible to bind vector interfaces to C++ apps w/ libs like (<a href="http://www.linuxartist.org/2d.html";>ZODIUS</a>)? I'm not sure how ENLIGHTENMENT runs their engine on xorg but it's not vector based. If possible I'd like to know. I don't have the time now but in the near future I plan to find out. Maybe someone here already knows? It would be pretty neat to build desktop packages that scale and stretch any resolution or device. __________________________________ Yahoo!
