Re: New User, First Thoughts, Future?

GTK2?

This sounds great.... Please be aware of anything that may be a
difference between WINDOWS and LINUX when doing this port as it will
need to be ported eventually. There are GTK2 libs for windows now.

Just my 2 cents....


I still need people willing to test and write up bug reports if not help
with the port itself.

Thanks,
Edward Haletky
