I built a simple widget library for Plan 9 which, used in conjunction
with the thread library allows writing simple graphical programs.
I've just done a major overhaul on that library; it now contains buttons,
sliders, scroll bars, a simple text-edit widget, s handwriting
recognizer based on Linux's xscribble, and two somewhat strange
widgets for selecting and displaying hierarchical data structures.
I've used the latter two only in music.
Our Bitsy (Compaq Ipaq pocket PC) port displays a keyboard based on
the new wisget library.

We're still hard at work on the Bitsy (I'm now doing the power management,
wish me luck) and I won't have time to finish cleaning up the widget
library for a bit.  I need to document all the changes I made.

I'm hoping that, some time early in January, I can release a fresh widget
library and I'll also release the music player then.
