What is FLTK ?

FYI, we are currently working on a implementation of a toolkit similar
to QTk at the Oz level which will display the user interface inside
Internet browsers (at least Internet Explorer, we'll try to make it
compatible with Netscape later). This toolkit (called QHTML) should be
available in one month or two. It will be as easy to use as QTk is, that
is a declarative way of building the presentation of the window and a
procedural way of dynamically interacting with it. The Oz programmer
will *not* have to learn HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, Java or web
technologies in general, such as QTk doesn't require the Oz programmer
to learn Tcl/Tk which QTk uses as effective toolkit. QHTML can be used
to create pure stand alone applications, as if the toolkit was a usual
stand alone toolkit, or any type of server-client web applications.
