As expected, Bradley Associates Ltd, Crowthorne, Buckinghamshire, has released a toolkit which enables developers to build graphical user interface front-ends for Fortran applications. Ginomenu is similar, says Bradley, to those that XVT Inc and Zinc Inc offer for the C market. Ginomenu is supplied with a variety of menus and widgets that are independent of any host windowing system such as Windows 3.1 or X Window. Prices go from UKP200 on personal computers to UKP400 on workstations. Bradley’s existing Gino-F package handles device connection and control of the graphics environment – it is priced at from UKP825 on personal computers. Gino-CL, a command language interface for non-programmers is expected to appear by the end of the year.
