(pronounced "fulltick") is a LGPL'd C++ user interface toolkit for X, OpenGL,
and Microsoft Windows. FLTK is deliberately designed to be small, so that
you can statically link it with your applications and not worry about installation
problems. As a side effect it is also extremely fast.</FONT></FONT>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica"><FONT SIZE=-1>On September 25, 1998, Digital
Domain instructed Mr. Bill Spitzak to discontinue development of FLTK.
Shortly thereafter a group of developers for FLTK reincarnated the library
on a mirror site so that development could continue. The FLTK web page,
FTP site, mailing list, and CVS server are being hosted by Easy Software
Products, a small software firm located in Maryland. Easy Software Products
develops commercial software and supports free software.</FONT></FONT>
