<h1>MINOS 2</h1>

MINOS is the Forth GUI I started 15 years ago - based on Xlib, later extended to Win32 GDI.  Unfortunately, this is all pretty outdated now.  So I'm now starting MINOS 2, which should have the following features:

  *  Rendering with OpenGL
  *  2D rendering using Cairo (and OpenGL backend)
  *  Text rendering with Pango (into OpenGL textures)

MINOS 2 will have

  *  Modern look
  *  Easy to program styles
  *  Animations

and other features that are deemed necessary today.

It will run on

  *  Linux
  *  Android
  *  Mac OS X
  *  Windows
  *  maybe even iOS
