If you have a Linux partition in ext2fs format (the most popular Linux
filesystem now), but primarily run Win9x, then you'll be wanting a
driver to read your Linux disk in Win9x. Check out:
http://www.globalxs.nl/home/p/pvs
It's a vxd which will let you mount your Linux disk with a little
proggy. It's only read-only access though, but it's really useful if you
want to use a decent file mangler or an easy-to-use search utility
rather than piping ls -R stuff through grep and other such nonsense.
Anyway, anybody who has been waiting (too long, sorry - schoolwork!) for
the next version of Visual Win32lib, you'll be glad to know that version
0.5 is just around the corner. It has full code editing (yes!) and loads
and saves .exws - even those that you've written previously and haven't
been saved by Visual Win32lib. Also, control creation is easier via a
toolbar. It should also be faster and less buggy (I wish). All I have
left to do is finish .exw code loading and parsing.
Any quick (read "easy to program") features you desperately want in this
release? Better mail me quick, then!
p.s. Does anybody know of a coloured text (RTF?) .vbx that I can use in
VB3 for syntax coloured code? I would use VB5 (I have it), but, frankly,
I hate it and even though it 'compiles' you still need a massively
bloated vbrun.dll. And some ocxs. Which need to be registered (?) =
bloated app = bloated installer = confusion for user.
Any ideas?
