Consider replacing the OCamlWin application with something more like the Macintosh version #2481

Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: feature
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

Full_Name: James Hague
Version: 3.00
OS: Windows 98
Submission from: jamesh.volition.net (205.198.255.59)

The graphical interface to the Caml system is very nice on the Macintosh, but
the OCaml application for Windows is very clunky and dated looking. Of note:
(1) the font is too large, unaesthetic, and cannot be changed; (2) input and
output are divided into three windows where one would be enough; (3) error
messages textually reference the point of the error ("Characters 16-20"),
instead of simply highlighting the offending text. The Mac interface does not
have any of these problems.

OCamlWin reimplemented in 3.04, perhaps still not as nice as the Mac GUI.
