Thanks a bunch, I just omitted PG_SIZE and PG_SZMODE altogether and its rocking 
everywhere (:

I hope something working tommorow, using another guys csv parser for now (GPL AFAIR, 
the license text in the file is same as pgui files), used in cvs2pdb and added one 
function to increase re-usability. His returns argv, argc style array of a single line 
of csv formatted text, I added which takes a filename and returns array of all its 
text. I hope no one tries to open a DNS server's name resolution list on a PDA ;) 
there's where I love GPL, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE! even if it burns your truck.

If you need more than 2x, you should be able to modify one of the skins to use a
'scale' value greater than 2.

I'm about to implement horizontal scrolling, and I'll make the scrollbars
automatically disappear when they're not needed. This way we can just feel free
to toss scrollbars onto everything and watch our apps remain useful at 64x64 or
some other odd resolution :)
Oh, and I think I know where the segfaults are coming from, so I'll try to clean
that up too.

Can you give me an example of what you were trying? Since containers can
automatically size now,  I don't think it should be necessary to set the size
explicitely. But, if you want to anyway it might be best to use the height of a
button. You can retrieve that with
"pgThemeLookup(PGTH_O_BUTTON,PGTH_P_HEIGHT)"
