You mean play from C++ or from Python? Or were there self-contained demos in
the tarball?

How does it rate OO-wise from the prospective Ruby user's perspective?

Is there a downloadable MS Windows FOX demo executable anywhere?

That would seem very handy. Have you got any FOX widgets accessible from
Ruby yet?

How do you and others think FOX compares to wxWindows? One drawback

be not too difficult to do, but unlikely soon without a hardware donation).
