Well, all the obvious names were taken. :-(

It is an object library in for building applications
with graphical user interfaces. One of the things it
does is make objects of all the IDL widgets (except
the table widget, naturally). We think of it as an
application framework.

I don't know. Maybe. No, probably not. It would mean
I'd have to write some documentation for it, and that
really does not sound like something I want to do. I
use it to build client applications. It is not hard
to understand (say, the way other well know object
libraries are nearly impossible to understand), but it
requires some hand-holding up front (in leu of
written instructions). People have used it to build
some amazing applications in an unbelievably (to me,
anyway) short time.
Cheers,
