Re: [Freedos-devel] An idea ???

[G. Potthast]

Hi Tom,

I used a different spreadsheet so far and that worked: 
http://nab.pcug.org.au/

For my 64 bit Nanolinux distro I tried to add Teapot but did not get that to 
compile with FLTK 1.3.2. Teapot is written for FLTK 1.0.x and somehow will 
not work with 1.3.2. I spent quite some time but did not get it to work. I 
did not want to add the FLTK 1.0.x library just for that program.

Georg
