Abstract. There are a number of software packages available which solve a wide variety of problems. Unfortunately, the average computer user is not making full use of these packages because they are typically quite large and complex. By building upon previously written programs, toolkits offer a way to increase user efficiency and decrease software development costs. Using this development model, the general package programmers can devote more time to maintenance, the toolkit designer can spend more time writing effective user interfaces, and the user can spend more time solving problems rather than fighting programs. This paper will define toolkits and layout some general design considerations
