DynAPI core files (as I understand it): [src/] dynapi.js [src/api] browser.js dyndocument.js dynlayer.js
[src/event] dragevent.js keyboard.js listeners.js mouse.js simple.js Possible core files(depends on the intention of the coders): [src/ext] dragdrop.js functions.js inline.js layer.js NOT core files: [src/gui] *.js (all) As for Dan's widgets: he did say he is re-writing them. I presume that this means the re-written widgets will be sold. Since many of the widgets contain code and concepts contributed by other developers, I would assume that the current versions would remain OpenSource. I hope this is the case as I would really hate to have to re-write the widgets I've based on these. And I'd hate to have to re-write every one of his widgets I've used in commercial apps.. If this is not the case Dan, then say so now. I'm not going to bother with legal procedings. I'll simply drop the DynAPI project all together and pay a code monkey to make new widgets to work with my own version of the API. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phillips, Stephen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Dynapi-Dev@lists. sourceforge. net" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 12:01 PM Subject: RE: [Dynapi-Dev] DynAPI Documents - Structural Candidate 1 > Can someone clarify which precise files are 'widgets' (as being discussed)? > > > > We have been distributing widgets with every release of > > DynAPI.
