From the opend.org website (I am assuming that this group is related to the opend.org website), it is difficult to tell what "d-front-end" and dli are. Could you put a description next to each one (including dig and toy).

Suggestions:
d-front-end: When combined with gcc, d-front-end compiles D source code
dli: <no idea>
dig: A set of GUI widgets written for D programs
toy2: <no idea>

Also, it seems odd that there is a c++ toy2 code on the website.  Shouldn't it be in D?  Maybe an explaintion of why would help (ie. we plan to convert this to D).

Thanks!

I don't have access to opend.org, so I can't change anything on it, but since you asked I can tell you that it's geared towards two unfinished projects.

1. A project to create a D front-end for GCC written either in C or C++.
2. dig - a GUI library for Windows

The discussion for the front-end mostly occurs on another newsgroup:
D.gnu on news.digitalmars.com.

Some information is available at:

D Linux Interface: a version of D that Burton Radons created.  Hasn't been updated in a while.

> dig: A set of GUI widgets written for D programs
The version of dig at opend.org hasn't been updated for recent versions of D.

There is an unofficial package available updated for DMD 0.76:
