Visual Win32lib - New and improved! Diskmag - dead!
Hello there!
I got back from holiday and I noticed that some kind soul has donated
50c to Visual Win32lib. Thanks for the birthday present (16 today in
case anybody cares)! Actually realizing that somebody wants the damn
thing done, I got to work...
The whole thing has been totally re-vamped. It's now done in a lot less
code because I address controls dynamically, and the whole prgram is
therefore probably quicker (it now doesn't use 100%cpu, at least!).
I thought I would release it now as I've got to a good stopping-point
code-wise (there are a few loose ends like that Advanced Edit button).
There'll probably be a tidy release with loads more features in a few
days, but I thought you might like to grab this now, as you never know
how lazy I might become (hint hint, make me code faster by donating
money!)

Thanks for a very good description of what Visual Win32lib will be (and
to some extent already is). Thanks Hawke! (I'm never going to call it
WEE, though!)
Grab this release while it's still hot:

As for all this talk about my website being 'temorarily unavailable'
while I was away on holiday: rubbish! I just did a bit of a shiftabout.
The new Euphoria page is:

You can still navigate to it from the address in my sig, so what the
problem was, I don't know (maybe Xoom's server had the hiccups)
On a sad note (more tissues please), the second piece of software to
die this week (R.I.P. GNUphoria, long live Win32lib) is my diskmag. I
have been totally underwhelmed by the articles (one from Ralf's
archives, which I think is now available on his website). If anybody
feels like reading the questionnaires that I did get (Rob, Pete, Ralf +
Einar, I think) , please e-mail me for them.
Have fun mucking around with Visual Win32lib - I think you'll like the
next version even better!
Stephen
