I use SourceForge services to run the fpGUI's website, so didn't want to abandon it [sourceforge] completely. The git repo there, is just a read-only mirror. Things could definitely be improved, because many have faced this same issue you did. > I've got the fpGUI examples working and had a look at how some of them work, > and It's very impressive!

In the end I spent a good part of 15 years developing it. lol Regards, Graeme _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [email protected] https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
