I agree, I use a procedural library that covers the Windows API (the IP
layer). I suspect most object type people don't see a problem that
all of the Win32 overlay libraries out there are object oriented. Still,
I suspect there are a few such procedural libraries. I personally want
a library that allows the use of both. Have you looked at (for example)
GTK ?

I'm not a big Java user, but there isn't really a layer that covers Win32
right ? Other than the JVM. Also, Java is yet another example of
"all objects, all the time" :-)
