Hi Doug,
the translation looks not so bad, I just glanced over the english
version and I don't see really difference to what I understood
in the original german one ...
I just do some self-citation, since I posted something on
yahoo group GPCP ...
... all host dependencies and interfaces (i.e. Windows stuff) are
layered in Subsystem Host and to my knowledge, everything,
what is used elsewhere is interfaced with (replaceable) factory
methods from subsystem Host. So one approach to port it, would
be to use a Windows version of GTK+ to create a Windows
independant Host subsystem based on GTK+ under Windows
and then ...
Ofcourse the linked executable is platform dependent and all
moduls from subsystem host, but all other modules should
be interchangable.
regards
Bernhard
