Hi Andy
Yes it is huge, and yes it is a massive undertaking, as I know all too well from the many fiddles I have done with it.
I would question whether there is any point in writing one from scratch, as what else would a programmer actually need that isn't contained in the already existing one. Would it be actually easier to use. Incidentally, Judith's IDE still functions great (and is the greatest example of Win32lib functionality), but it produces WinXP style border decorations- now if you could give them the modern Win11 interface, that would be cool.
So by all means have a crack at it (you are more than capable), but be prepared to do it as an academic exercise because what you wil probably end up with is the functionally same black box, as exists now.
Incidentally, is there win64lib library?
Cheers
