Introduction to GNUTS

GNUTS is a GUI toolkit abstraction library. That explanation is a mouthful. :)

More precisely, GNUTS is a library designed to make writing applications with multiple interfaces easier. Work is currently going on to support both curses and GTK+ interfaces with GNUTS. This way, a programmer can write an application that uses the GNUTS API for drawing widgets on the screen, and then at run time the GNUTS library can determine whether GTK+ or curses should be used (based on whether or not is possible to use GTK+ and user options). The program then behaves in the same way, but looks like other programs using the underlying toolkit.

Downloading GNUTS

GNUTS is not currently available for download via FTP. To retrieve GNUTS now, you must get it from the GNU CVS server. There are instructions available on using the GNU CVS server, GNUTS's module name is GNUTS. You can also access the CVS repository using the CVSweb interface.
