Hans Oesterholt-Dijkema, who wrote the patch, is not affiliated with Digital Mars. But it's been my experience that any requests for a feature tend to be a tiny tip of the iceberg, 99% will just silently walk away from your product if it doesn't do X. And you *do* have a request, from someone who obviously cared enough to write a non-trivial patch for your product. Other products, such as wxWindows, have seen quite a lot of Digital Mars users embrace it once it started supporting DMC++. -Walter www.digitalmars.com free C/C++/D compilers ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
