No worries, you misunderstood me :) My point was that a linux developer could keep a vwmare image around to produce the binary windows *installer* for win32 users, if there were compiled code around. I was just explaining how even if the project has no windows volunteers on hand to generate the installers, this isn't insurmountable these days thanks to vmware. You still need a linux/osx dev who's willing to install virtualized windows and compiler, but that's a lower requirement than asking one of us to switch to win32 altogether :) Relax, anyone who knows me has already seen how big of a fan of win32 I am ;) Cheers, f ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
