Check out QT Design. It came with my version of RH8Pro. I found several
other graphical IDE's that installed when I selected to include all
development tools. I like QT Design, though. It's kind of like the Visual
Basic IDE, but you wire everything up in the background with c++ or perl. I
think it works with a couple of other languages too.

Have fun,

Steve

The version of emacs I'm using does color coding. (It seems that every
Linux system I use has a different version of emacs or xemacs with different
settings.) I've never encountered a Linux distro that included visual
development tools, but it would sure be nice. I've been using Borland's
Kylix for over a year, and although it's similar to VC++ (and in some ways
better) it seems like Borland's not doing much with it. Plus support stinks
- you basically have to pay dearly for everything beyond install support,
even if you have the $300 commercial version. I had high hopes for Eclipse,
but that's a Java tool and I haven't yet gotten the C++ plugins working. I
also haven't seen a visual dialog editor for that yet either.
