+XForms (X11 graphical user interface toolkit)
+
+XForms is a graphical user interface toolkit based on the X11 Xlib library.
+It's written in C and allows to easily write GUIs for programs. For that,
+it comes with a lot of widgets (buttons, menus, input fields, scrollbars,
+you name it) as well as fdesign, a tool that lets you create a GUI using a
+GUI. In addition, the library is extensible and new objects can easily be
+created and added to the library.
+
+Note: the XForms toolkit hasn't anything to do with the W3C standardized
+XML XForms format which unfortunately also is called "XForms". The XForms
+toolkit already existed long before the XML XForms format stuff was invented
+and those newcomers just picked the same name ;-)
