I'm going over the url you gave. I got up super early today for my
daughter who is going to study comp-sci this fall(!); so I really
do need more coffee or a *nap*. meanwhile, below is a testfile that
print N labels [[ here N == 3 ]]. Id send you the makefiles, but figure
you can mouse the gcc line. "x2" is my lack of imagination.
at any rate, iv'e used the GTK__MISC string--macro? everything I'm coding
from now on is 3.0, so could you edit in the recommended way? you've got
halign; shouldn t I use the valign for mmy labels?
tx much,
gary
