On other hand, it is not possible to write a decent text editor that does not heavily depend on system services - from measuring text, multi language support, font replacement, cursor placement and behaviour etc.. With modern operating systems, it means providing system with callback that are called as needed. That is extremely difficult, if not outright impossible, with 4D. -- Peter Bozek ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
