The framework in general does harness plenty of underlying technologies, technologies that if absent would probably have prevented Dabo from ever happening. However, the Dabo framework is also something "on its own", greater than the sum of its parts. It brings things to the table that simply didn't exist an as easy-to-use or comprehensive a manner. The Dabo Editor, while cool and powerful, mostly wraps wx.STC and Dabo itself to do what it does. Sure, we made it better, but saying we developed the editor seemed to need some clarification is all. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
