JAVA SWING GUI TUTORIAL
AWT relies on ”peer-based” rendering to achieve platform independence. But subtle difference in platforms resulted in inconsistent look-and-feel, and platform-dependent bugs. Swing avoids these problems by using a non-peer-based approach, with the result it may be slower than AWT. To recover the look-and-feel of each platform (Windows, Motif, etc), it allows programs to specify the look-and-feel. It also has a new look-and-feel, called ”Metal”. Note that AWT is not deprecated as a result of Swing.

Using Microsoft Visual Basic to Create a Graphical Front-End for a CSIM19 Model
This document describes how to use Microsoft Visual Basic to quickly and easily create a graphical front-end for a CSIM19 simulation written in C. The example used in this document is a simple service center phone bank. The source for this example is included with this document. You will not be able to compile the source yourself unless you own the CSIM19 libraries. This document assumes that readers are reasonably familiar with CSIM19 and basically proficient in Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft Visual C++. Obviously the methods described here are also applicable in other development environments, as long as users know their preferred development tools well enough.
