I've had my posts from gmail delayed a few days, but not blocked.

I hope I am being nice, that is my intention. I believe constructive
criticism and bug-reports are a helpful part of free software development.
I would help with coding if I could, but I am a low-level programmer really,
my first windows-program was with wxlua 2 weeks ago.

The 2006-09-05 snapshot is my current binaries. No luck with the memory-leak.

The solution in wxluaeditor is nice, everything put into an output console in
the editor. Something similar to this would be nice. A separate window would
also be OK if there are scroll-capabilities. Unit-testing can spew out some
long texts...

OK.

OK, this miniscule test-file requires the luaunit library, available at
http://luaforge.net/frs/?group_id=54&release_id=281
It works when running in wxlua, and fails with the above mentioned error
in wxluaeditor.
--[[ Code start
LUA_PATH = 'c:/work/tighteningprototype/luaunit/?.lua'
require ('luaunit')
function test1()
print("test1")
assertEquals("1", "1")
end
TestToto = wrapFunctions('test1')
LuaUnit:run()
]]-- Code end
