Native is good. The gtk+ 1.2 or whatever windows port had some really bad-nasty memory leaks. I don't know if those got fixed in the 2.0 port. I remember the problem was because Win9x (and ME) are especially whiny about how you destroy resources. But until someone can write a windows "Sword Writer" program a gtk port is better than nothing. > Concerning Linux version of "Sword Writer", I think it should be several > separate programs (one for LDs, other for Bibles etc.) So consider my very > beginning of writing of GTK LD editor as staring of Sword Writer. Separate programs isn't necessarily the way to go here. What you could do is write a "Sword Writer" core that handled all the functions and provided a way for there to be plugable modules for the various components. Much like the way the KParts system works in kde. -- David's Mailing List and Spam Receiver Keeping me (relatively) spam free since 2002
