I must point out here that I did not use any Microsoft development tool to write my program. I just got emacs, and mingw32 gcc (a gcc that can generate easily win32 native code, which is recommended by the gimp/gtk for windows web page). It worked fine, out of the box. I haven't tried running lablgtk on windows, because I only have ocaml installed for cygwin, not natively (and gtk is more problematic to use with cygwin). Also, since I'm developping an application that is to be used on machines where cygwin is not installed, it would mean one more dll to add to the binary (and I'm not even thinking about license issues ;-) Amicalement, Alan Schmitt -- The hacker: someone who figured things out and made something cool happen.
