Having had a quick look at Ian's, Matthias' and Greg's most recent posts. and without going into several peripheral issues, The GENERAL CASE way to do this is to use Fl_Text_Display and Style_Table_Entry. Please note, I am currently moving from Windows to Ubuntu and am new to many protocols.I notice from the main websites that there are various versions and their weekly snapshots (1.3.x ??). I dont know what STR means but I would OFFER to implement "Add background colors to Fl_Text_Display" myself. To me HOW this is done will affect which version it should be integrated into. Ubuntu Software Centre automatically downloaded and installed V1.3 for me.What is the install technique for snapshots? Is all source code given? Is it protected? I assume it is well make'd. What is a .tar.gz,a .tar.bz2? What is a diff? Who decides whether I can do this and how should I proceed? _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
