Hello Gerald,

I was checking Luxor today. Just for fun, and perhaps to use it in some of my 
home apps.

I noticed that the calculator example is really out of date. It is not very 
encouraging when you try to start up things and have to learn new stuff, that 
the key example doesnt work.

So if you were not aware yet:
- the classpath in the bat file is referring to jars that are not in the 
download. version numbers had to be repaired before the calculator even started 
without exceptions.
(after repairing that : )
- the calculator doesn't work good- keeps mixing old results in new 
calculations.
- the number keys don't work, entry only with mouse.

despite all these flaws in the tutorial, i was impressed by XUL. Being a web 
developer myself it looks to me as an easy road to the desktop.

I wonder if you yourself have any plans with luxor? Which XUL version do you 
recommend to use along java?

Regards,

Jan.
