1. widgets update
Hailing my fellow dos dinosaurs again!
I firmly believe, no matter how much noise Judiths, Dans and Brians
make, that we, sane Euphorians who abhor murky expanse of m$ windows,
still have a clear majority on our side. Unfortunately, even after
almost four years of false starts and lots of promises, we still have
no practicable DOS GUI. My last call provoked David, he is finally
moving, so let's hope and pray. But to make sure I'll keep kicking the
butts until we get something better : simpler, faster, smarter. From
David, or anybody else foolish enough to venture into his territory.
I have just sent an update of my widgets to Rob. In the meantime you
can also fetch them off my page as usual. I hope they will eventually
become useful. Below is a summary of major changes.

Hi Jiri,
You're really moving fast. It has a great look and feel. I like it!!! I
can't wait for future releases.
