YOU use such a thing maybe...   Oh yeah, the fake stuff that supposedly
makes Swing forms.   So glad I don't have to do that.   :)

Anyway I never make any GUIs at all any more, we have 10 developers that
can make GUIs.   I design the databases, spec out the data functionality
of the apps and write the stored procedures.
