Ralph Thomas pointed me to corkscrew, which I had up and running in
minutes and now have a hole poked in the firewall big enough that I can
commit some changes to the sandbox. So that's what I did. I've improved
the Win32 implemetation quite a bit:
- I have checked in MSVC .sln files for the various libraries and
visual so dependent libraries are built before Begin is, so you don't
have to hunt down subprojects and build them before building Begin in
MSVC anymore.
- visual.exe (the binary created on Windows) now does *not* open a
default dialog when executed. The editor window on Macintosh is
something I'd like to build into the Windows code, but at this point
because it's not working I didn't think piggybacking on the editor
loading code was a wise idea. Now, to launch a dialog, you must
drag-and-drop an adam and eve file pair on the executable to launch it.
From the command line the files need to be the first and second
argument to the app.
- Many Win32 widgets were further fleshed out. Check out the image size
dialog (and its subdialog)-- everything works now! There are some
behavior issues left to implement (focus related issues, etc) and the
basline alignment isn't working quite right yet (anyone know how to do
this on Win32?) but the dialog is in a much better state than it was
before.
Blessings,
Foster
