I'm concerned that threading this (at least, using /real/ Unix-style threads) may cause incompatibilities with some OSes. Can some look into this before we move much further forward? Or were we talking about threads at a higher level, and not actually using OS-level stuff? (Main concern for me: getting Tux Paint to work on Mac OS Classic... far too many schools are still stuck with it, and currently cannot take advantage of Tux Paint!) -bill! _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list Tuxpaint-dev@tux4kids.net http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
