No. I thought about a Celtk-AddOn package which provides just that.  
Or I go the No Canvas route and keep it simple. I am only building a  
simple GUI as a front-end to a TIBCO Rendezvous middleware bus as a  
simple test tool.

Not that hard. I simply had the impression that I might be able to  
get the same tools as on Windows from Franz.

Yes, I remember that one.

No, no. Too much work going into something I don't want to invest  
time in. Work list too long  with other stuff.

Hehe.  I'll leave that one to you, then ;-) Too much fun to see you / 
fighting/ all the new kids on the Lisp block... c.l.l. was a bit  
boring while you have been on Snowboarding. Utah, again?
