OCaml and other ML like languages does not provide developer with a native GUI. Therefore one must use a third party GUI, like TCL/TK or GTK. This requires final users to search the Internet for a GUI library, download it, install it, etc. Most final users are not up to the task. Therefore we decided to create a GUI interface entirely written in OCaml, that does not require any external library to work, and that has a very small footprint. Compiled programs occupy as little as 300Kbytes on disk. The system works equaly well on Windows, Linux, or any other operational system with an OCaml port. It has four kinds of widgets: Buttons, refresh devices, parsers, and Emacs-like mini-editors. The Emacs widgets work with plain text or mask-driven forms; they offer a practical and simple method for data input. Since OCaml is a strong typed functional language, this application is pratically bug free.
