On the other hand, I'm sure porting a non-trivial program is still quite time consuming, especially as all the dialogs would have to be recreated from scratch. (wxWindows uses a more flexible mechanism to cope with the differing sized widgets from GTK to Win32 (and others)). I spent a good few hours on it a few months ago, and now it doesn't compile on either!! Still hopefull though :-) Cheers - Dave _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
