    I wrote a dummy screen with a few buttons on it, and ran it under MOS but the buttons and screen didnt line up and looked out of place....

    Is the only way to do GUI programming on MOS is to utilize MUI?

    I don't think MorphOS supports the old
    1.x style gadgets. If you use MUI or
    even gadtools.library it should work ok.
    Reaction/ClassAct will work too, but you
    have to install the support libs seperately.
    MUI is the officially supported GUI standard
    (and the most versatile) though, so it
    probably makes sense to use when possible.

    You can use Intuition's BOOPSI classes as well.
    1 + 1 = 3 with very large values of 1

    MorphOS support Standart BOOPSI stuff as weel as MUI.
    You should really use MUI to create your GUI.

    ClassAct works perfectly.
    Reaction works but you have to by the AmigaOS 3.5 or 3.9 :-( Moreover, most of the user will not have ReAction.

    Bye
    MorphOS Rulez !

    The most preferable GUI engine on MorphOS is ofcourse MUI - I'd suggest you don't use anything else for MOS apps simply because this is the only engine that is guaranteed to work with all future MOS releases - others may be dropped ;)

    Anyway... you didn't give us any real info about what you wrote (technical details), so it's quite hard to help.

    WRONG!

    Most programs work with ClassAct (Which is what Reaction basically is, only renamed)

    You can get it for free from Aminet...

    At least A-Web and Zonexplorer work with it

    hmm...I went to www.airsoftsoftwair.com, and its down, aminet doesnt have a download.. Know of a URL or website I can checkout for more info on this package? (Hollywood) What I dont want is to code in a language thats strictly for the MOS operating system..I prefer sticking with C, which I'm assuming can be used with Hollywood.
