Great. I'm saying the right thing the wrong way. When
I speak of GUI events, I mean the event queue, and its
activity. GUI toolkit architectures forces event
receivers themselves to be event driven.

I'm going to use "event driven" to mean exclusively: A
non-procedural module, whether a GUI or not, which
awaits events and uses each to change its state.

That will suggest that your Representation Layer
should not have state (in the DDD sense - it can have
proxy objects containing reference data), and the
Logic Layer 
 ought to be event driven. The events that drive it
come either from its tests or (via the Representation
Layer) from its GUI.

I'm aware this now makes less sense. I just put a
recipe for "Cafe Mocha Clone" on the StarBucks page of
the Wiki, and I have KFJC turned up really loud, so
I'd better not post on the Internet in this
condition...

Are there Carbon or Cocoa clones for Win32?
