		A kylix (also spelled cylix), is a wide-bowled drinking cup with horizontal handles designed to be drunk from a reclining position.
		For example, there may be one theme presented on the outside of the kylix, such as dancing and drinking, a happy party theme while on the inside, once the wine was exposed there would be a figure being sick and vomiting, suggesting the opposite theme.
		In the UMFA’s kylix the figures on the outside are drinking and dancing while the one on the inside is solemn and carries a bat or weapon.

		Kylix features CLX, a Linux version of Borland's VCL [Visual Component Library], which is (mostly) a component-based control library, not unlike Visual Basic or.NET's WinForms.
