Bill,

Some suggestions:

(1) I don't have a copy of Mandrake 8.2, so I don't
know what the dependancy problems are, but:

  (a) If you have python2.2 and are running the 0.1.1
CVS version (which is what I take your previous
comment on "the new version" to mean) then you have a
good combination.  Even to 0.1.0 release looks OK with
Python2.2 until you get well into it.

  (b) Since Mandrake is an RPM based system it's
trivial to upgrade around your dependancy problems. 
Just download the required RPM's from Mandrake if
available, or if not look on the contrib directory of
the RedHat site for a suitable RPM.  In the latter
case it would probably be best to download the source
RPM and do an rpm --rebuild on it first.  Not having
used Mandrake in years, I'm not sure if there are
directory architecture differences between them that
will require patching, but I doubt it as in the past
they used to follow RedHat's lead in this area.

  (c) If you're thinking of changing Linux versions
and are concerned about dependancy issues etc., may I
suggest you go for the RedHat variant.  I certainly
don't want to start a discussion on the relative
merits of the different distributeions, but with
RedHat being by a long margin the market leader you
will generally find that most software is ready to run
on this platform first.

(2) Whilst I like Glade/PyGlade myself from an
aesthetic point of view (an addiction to *IX
minimalist solutions), I'd be disinclined to develop
anything serious in it when there are products like
Boa available.  You just don't get anything like the
functionality or productivity available with the more
advanced products.  As to the Win98 option, I guess
that it's a matter of what your goals are.

(3) Did you try out my previous suggestion re the
<CR><LF> issue.  I can't remember for sure if this is
the solution as it's ages since I ran into this issue.
 If you've tried it with no luck, I'm happy to look
further into it.  If you need more detailed info just
let me know.

Regards,
John Bell
