    gxmessage

    gxmessage

    gxmessage is a GTK based alternative to xmessage

    Gxmessage pops up a dialog window, displays a given message or question, then waits for the user's response. That response is returned as the program's exit code. Because gxmessage is a drop-in alternative to xmessage, gxmessage accepts any option xmessage would, and returns the same exit codes.

    libmsgque

    libmsgque

    something that writes code for you

    The **libmsgque** project is an infrastructure that allows multiple package-items to be linked together to act as one application. To link, you need to distribute the work from one package-item to another package-item and wait for an answer or not. > Philosophy: Write Once → Run Everywhere The package-item can be a thread, a separate local process that is started by fork or spawn, or even a network of multiple services on multiple hosts. The package-item can be written in any language that is supported by the Programming-Language-Micro-Kernel support. It even supports running multiple programming languages in a single piece of software. Supported Languages are: (C,C++,C#,VB.NET,Java,Python,Ruby,Perl,PHP,Tcl or GO) > Strategy: It takes 4 years to write a programming-language, but it only takes 4 weeks to insert a micro-kernel. The package-item is connected to one another via a pipe or a socket and is based on packets .
