Re: Documentation & Examples

Hi Alex

First sorry for being so slow in answering (hrmf - it seems I start all
my emails with this stupid excuse :-), I better just add it to my
signature).

We have heard about that before, and that should be okay, and actually
make it possible to build it from the command line with .NET-tools
afterwards. Please see this email:

It would be great if you could build the native projects from the
command line as described in the mail. Then we could probably also come
up with a way to modify the build file, so it would support both VS5/6
and VS.NET builds.

Personally I use VS6, I thing Robert uses VS5, and I am not really sure
what other uses?

Oh, I have to correct you on this (at least if you with the phrase "you"
mean me as a person). The project was started by Stuart Halloway, with
bigger or smaller contributions by all the persons mentioned on the
contributers page. I only joined recently as yourself, and hasn't
commit'ed much code, but mostly documentation and refactoring/cleaning.
