<comment on 'permanence' remove> > Christopher Certainly I am glad to help; the only reason that I have not volunteered for the project is due to uncertainty about time to accomplish (anything) some specific goals. My preference would likely be for helping on this project; especially as it relates to Windows. [Note: I firmly want to see cross platform solutions because they help us all AND help the growth of Lisp -- my skills and needs are however on the Windows platform.] I did refresh my memory on Microsoft RC files and those are easily parsible. Worst case they could be turned into boiler plate code that does create dialogs etc on Lisp with an FFI or GUI package. This means that anyone with a Windows GUI-IDE could draw dialogs and windows and create Lisp programs. Using (binding) the actual binary "RES" compiled resource file might be either very hard or easy.... Even an OLD copy of VC or Visual Studio could do this 'drawing' to create GUI designs. It could even work cross platform if the code produced ran elsewhere OR if there are similar facilities for Mac/Linux (surely there are.) -- Herb Martin _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
