Seems I was wrong with my assumption that you couldn't be contacted. :) Good! :) Could you tell me why you abandoned pICE? Is there a specific reason for this or only personel? If there is some technical reason I would like to know about this, as I'm quite interested in this project and I really would like to continue it in order to have some decent debugger for wine as well. -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch.
