I stumbled across a freeware version of widgets called wxWidgets which may 
be used in Perl and Python.  Is this a dependable package, or is it buggy?

I have a kind of general paranoia about freeware, having had some 
unpleasant experiences with some packages.  Please let me know what you 
think.

I appreciate any contributions from all and sundry.

Trivia question:  The United Space Ship Enterprise's second captain was 
James T. Kirk.  Who was her first captain?  Extra credit:  What does the 
"T" in Kirk's name stand for?  The first captain (other than Robert April 
who served for a short time as Enterprise's captain during her shakedown 
cruise) to command Enterprise after its commissioning was Christopher 
Pike, played by Jeffrey Hunter in the dual episode entitled "Menagerie," 
which was cobbled together from scenes taken here and there from the 
pilot, called "The Cage."  The "T" in James "T." Kirk stands for 
"Tiberias."
