He was able to get the release to build according to his last message. I still need to work on the wingdi build for the environments that do not have the newer windows api calls. I need to spinup a VM running an older version of Windows to test. As for the big, that has to do with the pause mechanism and I have been waiting for the wxwidgets driver to stabilize. I’m going to make wingdi have the same behavior as wxwidgets relative to the pause. > Alan > __________________________ > Alan W.
