Hmmm,  not sure how I missed that.

I'm finding lablgtk2 a real struggle. I thought about maybe doing
the GUI in C and the data processing in Ocaml. After banging my head
against lablgtk2 for over a week, it took me about 8 hours to get 
all the GUI elements I need working in C/GTK+.

I then spent some time trying to figure out how to hook up the C GUI
and the Ocaml data processing. That proved too difficult.

I'm now back banging my head on the Ocaml version of the GUI and working
on the C version has definitely helped but there are still some things
I haven't figure out. I suppose I need to suffer some more pain :-).
