That would be great! > which compiler do you use for tuxpaint? I have only used MSVC 6.0 SP5(?) on Win98SE. Not tried the MINGW/MSYS combination or using Cygwin.

Ok, that looks good - similar to the current Tux Paint installer. The un-installer did leave the TuxMath folder behind with a 'stderr.txt' file in. The Tux Paint un-installer clears this up but leaves behind the paintings! The Tux Paint installer also creates a single entry in the registry that allows the 'stamps' and 'fonts' installers to find the Tux Paint folder. Bill is interested in a multi-lingual installer, which will (probably) involve a small number of custom strings that need translation, and he would also like a way of generating a 'tuxpaint.cfg' file from user selectable options in the installer. Fullscreen/Windowed and a location for 'userdata' would be good candidates. Should be pretty straight forward with NSIS2, happy new year, John. > best regards and best wishes for 2004, > johannes > > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > www.eduhi.at www.schule.at > ------------------------------------------------------------ > Ing.
