I don't think so. Apparently people are even moving back from DSL to dialup now. I've never been comfortable with the "use CVS" answer, as is well-known. Then again, maybe I'm crazy the same. > Btw.

Not sure. I don't have it installed here yet. Anyone got a screenshot we can copy?

Leaves a very bad impression :-( I've noticed this the last couple of days. I've fixed one or two, but I don't have access to the Applications Database, nor the source code to fix the obvious bugs/missing features in it. I'll ask on webmaster-gnustep - anyone want to help? > So why am I interested in GNUstep? > I'm currently using pygtk for application development. > Pygtk hides a lot of the GTK+ ugliness [...] I know what you mean. I was developing in guile-gtk, but there's only so much ugliness that you can hide and then they made ^A destroy data (but you can write a rc file on every system that starts GTK applications, so it's OK to hurt users in consecutive major versions, right?). I think the message-passing of GNUstep fits well with typical XLISP-style message-passing, but I've not managed to make a guile-gstep app yet. Some of GNUstep's user interface is *so* much better (some isn't but people are starting to hunt those now) that I hang around doing related tasks, but one day... I think there are *many* balls coming this way. Are we ready to juggle? Can we keep the balls up, or will we make a balls-up of it? Hey, I like this metaphor. -- MJR/slef _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
