    GUI

    Hey!

    I would like to write something similar to a telnet-application in C.
    Are there any good, portable GUI-libraries that you would recommend?
    Some that are preferrably written in C. I heard about Gtk (C), Qt (C++)
    so far... I would like to be able to run the program on atleast Windows,
    Linux (X.org) and MacOS.

    GTK+ is coded does GUIs entirely in C and I found it fairly easy to do some basic stuff with it. If you want to make your prog portable you will need to compile it and add it as a dll with your prog (its fairly large).

    Theres a good free ebook about GTK if you're interested:

    I know it's C++, but wxWidgets is a decent library imo.
