Hi everybody,

I thought I'd drop a note to update you on the progress of the CB FOSS
(Free Open Source Software) port.

We have a project web site set up to manage the source and process
surrounding the port. We've converted most of the source in a boilerplate
fashion to use the open source, cross platform, wxWidgets library. Of
course everything is busted so now comes the tough part (as I put it to the
folks on the project)...

We need to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

The second milestone (the first is done: to wit...set up the project
process) is to get CBDesign working well enough to load and save GameBox
files in the same format as used by CB v3.02. 

The third milestone is to fix the UI.

Then it's on to CBPlay.

===========================================================================
I want again put out another call for any developer types who would like to
be a part of this project. If you're not a hard core C/C++ programmer the
Help system needs to be reworked and ultimately expanded. Also, we will be
needing someone to do installer work as we get toward to finish. There are
other smaller programming tasks the don't require heavy Windows/wxWidgets
knowledge so you can learn as you go (but you should have some programming
background).
===========================================================================

Thanks,
Dale
