Actually it's a general gui refreshing issue but aside from
that Gui4Cli is still fully functional on W2K. After you start
it up you hardly notice it. Only if you move a open message box,
there's a white hole at the old position when you close it :)

Oh! My mistake. I'm sure you mentioned it somewhere in the change log.

I also have the impression that string space (buffers) are corrupted
in some way. Basically there seems to be nothing wrong there because
I also use the buffer + addCode commands to load, decript and run
gui's and this always works fine.

Also note that when I found a "install path / script size" combo where
it runs without issues, it's behavior consistent.

About what Win7 says of Gui4Cli. If you right-click on the executable
there's an option to trouble-shoot compatibility issues and that sees
Gui4Cli as a "Windows XP SP2" application. You can check that out
yourself.

The ideal would be if it says it's a Windows 7 application :)
