Honestly, the file size was not a real worry. Its still just a fragment of
any other windows program (which is the standard).

Well, I was under the impression some of such libraries exist, even though
most are just names I heard.
GTK, etc. David, what are the options ?

Off course, there are legal strings attached as well, I suppose ?

Off course you can't, but does this means, that you have changed the policy
when adding thew Win32 and Linux platforms ? Where do you stand ? Will you
ever add libraries comparable to the Watcom graphics lib to the Win32
version and the Linux version ? How will the development go ?

I do still suggest you add things like Win32Lib to the standard download,
perhaps also a simple editor for Win32, an Win32 installation program ?
