2.3 What is MUI?

   MUI is a set of shared libraries which are used to build a
comfortable GUI (`Graphical user interface'). The general idea of MUI
is that the programmer determines only the logical structure of the GUI
and the look (Font, Size, Windows on Workbench, Public Screen, own
Screen, ...) is determined by the user only. From the programmers point
of view using MUI is simpler than `gadtools.library' but much more
powerful. On the other hand MUI interfaces are slower than
GadTools-Interfaces, especially on old 68000 machines.
   MUI is found in two archives, one for developers only and one for
users. Source: Aminet, `dev/misc'.
