The Amaya developers have made a wise choice to move to a cross-platform API rather than rolling-their-own. This way they can focus their resources on improving the product rather than on making the product work on many obscure platforms... I read the wxwidgets.org site which is well organized and their product seems very mature. I suspect this summer is being used to learn the API and see how it can help with the design of the next user interface (i smell font support !!) In reading about wintel platform, they support SUBSETS back to win3.1 ;-] ;-] but complete for xp, nt and 2000. win95 is missing a few hooks and they say nothing about Win98 [my platform] My question is will the Amaya team be supporting the Win98 platform if at all possible. Have they noticed any missing hook that is crucial to their next Amaya version... wxwidgets does support a subset of hooks for motif but i guess something important is missing and hence a loss of amaya development for that desktop. i hope this isnt going to happen to Win98! -- john russell ve3ll@rac.ca [those are L's as in LLAMA] http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3ll http://home.cogeco.ca/~trains http://home.cogeco.ca/~cipher
