Why is the only prejudice it's PC to have is anti-Christian prejudice?

• Development of any kind.
• Business and capitalism in general.
• Western literature and civilization in general ("only dead white males").
• Science and the scientific method (by proponents of "other ways of knowing").

"I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature."

- Thomas Jefferson

Plus CORBA, and a host of other modern concepts. It mostly lacks extensive documentation and users. Find intro at Fresco page of Gary's Encyclopedia.

The Berlin project is said to be incorporating many of its concepts

Unfortunately, it's documentation, while very good is not extensive, there is no printing support, and it is said to have fewer widgets than some other libraries. It has only a few significant users and the current maintainter is not actively developing it.

Give it a try. I think you'll be quite impressed by one of its several demos in which can make a copy of a drawing editor with another copy and work its buttons, etc, after rotating the whole copy.

I hope someone can be found to keep it alive, improve its documentation, and help popularize it.

Find an intro page with much more info about it at Fresco page of Gary's Encyclopedia

BTW, If you want detailed explainations of the M$ character set situation, find some links to same under "Character sets" at Character sets section of Gary's Encyclopedia

In brief, M$ has gotten their character set made an international standard, but no page-authoring software or page authors I've seen yet bother to use the M$ standard name in the page header. Even if they did, Netscape probably has not equiped its browsers to deal with it.

Found in Gary's Encyclopedia.

I tried Fresco (just before the current release) last October. There's still a few people working on it and an low-activity mailing list. It's a good thing, but there's not much support or documentation other than a fine Tutorial and a big Reference manual.

I created a page with quite alot of stuff about it, including some hints on getting started.
