You are correct, and if I had compared the size of the file on
the server with the one on my disk, I would have noticed that
the server's was 1 byte shorter. But who expects that?
I have replaced the file, and downloaded and unzipped it - it looks
ok this time. Please try again.

Bah, my hacked-up install worked just fine :)
Anywho, it works! And I'm going to go ahead and start using it, and
see what happens!
One little problem. I had to insert the libfile directory (C:\Program
Files\Common files\GTK\2.0\lib) into the path. But other than that,
it rocks :)
Onward to my idea of a MUSHcode IDE! :)

Hi Irv,
It looks good, thanks for doing the work.
Just some comments,
Is the doco supposed to be included in the EuGTK_Win.zip file?
The zip file contains a gtk2/docs/ directory, but the widgets directory
under docs is empty.
Can I assume the GTK runtime (GTK-Runtime-Environment-2.2.4-2.exe)
has problems?
When I install it and set up the lib path, I get a console window
displaying
(<unknown>:2824): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "wimp",
whenever I run any of the demos.
(The demos still work by the way)
Doing a little research (and following the file location instructions
at: http://gtk-wimp.sourceforge.net/faq/) I get the
correct Windows look and feel (i.e. wimp look and feel) but some
demos show errors similiar to:
** (<unknown>:1168): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "Tahoma Bold Italic
8" falling back to "Sans Bold Italic 8"
i.e. this was for "fileselect.exu" and some others.
This is obviously a Windows GTK bug but thought I'd mention it anyway.

If I had read the instructions I would have found out the doco can be
generated!!!!
.. but, it seems this feature doesn't work under Windows.
I get the following error:
---------
c:\dev\euphoria\include\gtk2/inspector.gtk:104 in procedure
InspectMethods()
bad file number (-1)
... called from c:\dev\euphoria\include\gtk2/inspector.gtk:225 in

Heya Ray!
I picked into the 'inspector.gtk' file (found in your include\gtk2
directory), found a couple of slashes and stuff that was missed.
There will be a couple of lines at the beginning of the file, that
should read:
constant HOME = getenv("HOME")
constant DOCDIR = HOME & "/gtk2/docs/widgets/"
Change the 'getenv' part to your euphoria\include directory (make
sure to make those backslashes \\!), and change the slashes in the
DOCDIR to \\s. So then it should read something like this:
constant HOME = "H:\\Euphoria\\etc"
constant DOCDIR = HOME & "\\gtk2\\docs\\widgets\\"
You'll also find a couple of lines that look like:
system(BROWSER & " " & instance_file & " &",0)
For now, until Irv says how to start a browser window, leave it
remmed out (throw a '-- ' in front of it).
That should work for the most part! Yay!
*scratches his head* Yeah, that should work. I think.

Thanks for that LL.
It now works like a charm.

I've tried it on Windows XP Sp1 and Windows 98 SE.
I didn't use the "HOME" environment variable on XP as it just returns
%USERPROFILE% so I just hard coded it to my GTK2 directory.
It's not the final solution ... but OK for now.
(I still have the other GTK problems with fonts etc from one of my
previous emails)

Ray:
What is in your path, and where are libwimp.dll and the theme folder
located? That would help other people who are having the same problem
(with wimp) and maybe help find the cause of the font error.

Hi Irv,
I installed the runtime to c:\GTK ... so I added c:\gtk\lib to my path.
Following the file location structure at:
http://gtk-wimp.sourceforge.net/faq/
I created a new directory:
c:\gtk\lib\gtk-2.0\2.2.0\engines\
and copied
c:\gtk\lib\libwimp.dll
to
c:\gtk\lib\gtk-2.0\2.2.0\engines\libwimp.dll
I created a new directory:
c:\gtk\share\themes\gtk-wimp\gtk-2.0\
and copied
c:\gtk\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc.window
to
c:\gtk\share\themes\gtk-wimp\gtk-2.0\gtkrc
This gets the correct "Wimp" (or Windows) theme but produces some of
the "font" errors. As I said, everything still seems to work
correctly except for the font messages displayed in a console window.
I haven't done any more investigation from this point.

Thanks, I'll duplicate that, and see what happens.

Hi Ray:
The font errors are because GTK can only use TrueType fonts, and
the MS Sans Serif 8 is not real TT.
You can prevent this error if you add a line to gtkrc-winp to
specify a font you like (choose one which does not have a big
red A)
GtkTreeView::allow-rules = 0
GtkTreeView::expander_size = 11
engine "wimp"
{
}
font_name = "Verdana 8" #added line
}
class "*" style "wimp-default"
--
Once this is done, I get no errors at all.

Irv

Thanks Irv, that works a treat.
It looks very impressive on XP. I'll try it on Win98 tonight.
There are still a few sample programs that request specific fonts
that show error messages ...
but I doubt (?) it would be easy to find fonts that work on
everyone's PC (and you have to sometimes specify particular fonts to
demonstrate font usage).
Also some of the demo programs look for graphics in hard coded
directories. It doesn't bother me, but others may be confused why
so images don't display.
Keep up the great work.

Yes, I don't know whether the default TT fonts are the same on
XP as 98, 2K, etc. I also found out that the pop-up hints for
various controls (when using gtk-wimp) try to use the fonts specified
by Windows, and so can fail if the user has chosen a non-TT font
for the hints.

I'll se if I can fix those.
