"GUI" What does it stand for?

I have seen these letters quite a few times, and I just can't quite come up with what it actually means. I have seen it attached to numerous software packages (ie. vcd image AND BeSweet)

Thanks

Graphical User Interface

Just to add to HEX's message. VCDImager, CDRDAO, BeSweet and several other programs are comman line based (ie. dos prompt). Since many people hate having to type in command lines, it's easier for them to use a GUI.

For example, VCDImager's XML files can be very complicated, but a GUI like VCD Easy or TSCV does 'most of the work for you.'

Thanks for the quick replies. I have seen this acrynom for quite some time and never could figure it out. Then, immediately after I installed BeSweet (without GUI) it gave a message that I could install the GUI version because some users like it better. That's when it clicked, in my mind; "Graphic User Interface".

Thanks for confirming my hypothesis

Sounds like someone needs to add GUI to the glossary .
