Where are the patches? I've never seen them. Had I seen them I would have commented, or attempted to get them pushed into the upstream package (assuming they were reasonable). Getting g-wrap to work on windows is a perfectly reasonable thing, and I'm SURE we can get the patches into the package. Similarly, patches to gnucash would be accepted, too... Provided they are portable patches and done reasonably-well ;) FWIW, the g2 port of gnucash wont use guppi; our plan is to use Gnome Office Graphing (gog). > Just my $0.2 worth of caution. > > However, there is an exciting new way to have gnucash > running on Win-XP platform.

This seems like a lot more work and space than a windows port and "binary package" of gnucash.. But then again I'm not a windows developer (or user) so I certainly have no incentive to do this myself. -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
