Hello SIPB people,

I know you don't support C++, but if any of you can help me out with
this, I'd really appreciate it.

I am a beginner C++ programmer and I'm having trouble having the
following (very simple) program to compile:

#include "GUIObj.h"

void main ( )
{
  OKBox myBox;
  mybox.display("Hello, World!");
}

This program is supposed to use the GUIObj.h library to create a window
with the message "Hello, World!".  However, the compiler on Athena does
not recognize this GUIObj.h library.

Someone at the SIPB office suggested to me that this program may have
been written to run on a Windows platform, which may have different
"libraries" than a UNIX platform.  Is there a way to get around this
problem on Athena?  Is there an equivalent UNIX GUIObj.h library?

Thanks for your help,
Damien
