Merlin II (http://home.planet.nl/~apspijkerman/merlin2) is the successor of Merlin (http://home.planet.nl/~apspijkerman/merlin/home.html) and runs on AmigaOS 2.x, 3.x and Morphos.
"Merlin is a system to make GUI's to control your Amiga. It has a very easy way to use MultiMedia windows in your applications, which works with a GUI description language. It has a Dynamic GUI engine, combined with a graphics engine. Version 2 is a complete rewrite of Version 1, it is now based on my
crystal library .. so it has an abstraction layer for graphics systems."

While I do like the basic idea, I must really wonder why we need yet
another propertary GUI-system, when it should have been possible to
base it on an allready existing one (MUI prefered ;-) ).

Oh, and am I the only one who for just one secound thought someone had
made an succesor to the much fabled and hated Merlin-GFX-card??
:-P

Barf! :evil: Merlin! I had a Merlin gfx card, replaced it with a picassoIV :-D

When this program interprets the scripts for a GUI, does it draw the GUI useing the systems native GUI? Such as Intuition or Reaction?
If so, then, i like it.
What i'd also like to see is an XML description language so that one can write Reaction interfaces with XML/XSL. Or Maybe we should just port Mozilla for that?
I like the idea very much though because it has the potential to speed up the creation of a GUI for an app.
