Hello Steve,
there is compiler support for executables marked as GUI applications
through the -gui command line option. But to actually create a GUI,
you will have to use one of the eggs providing bindings for user
interface toolkits [1]. All the Tk and Qt based ones should, in
principle, work under Windows. The IUP binding is also known to work
under Windows.
> Also does Chicken Scheme have a method for accessing databases?
Yes, check the eggs providing database functionality [2]. However,
there is currently no database-independent layer like Perl's DBI
module that provides a uniform API for all other relational database
drivers.
Ciao,
Thomas
