[Btrwiz-devel] Update - June 2002

[Mark H. <mh...@ca...>]

I've now finished my exams and will start programming the next
generation of Batch Text Replacer. This will a cross-platform version,
with a similar graphical interface to previous versions, but with a few
enhancements. 

The work will be in JAVA, using the JAVA-GNOME [1] system for the user
interface. This will be primarily be developed under linux, but we will
eventually get a system working in windows. We could *really* do with a
windows developer helping us. The java-gnome has never been ported to
windows (although java can be easily compiled natively in windows; and
gtk is often used in windows under the Cygwin system)

Hopefully, beta releases will be available by the end of July. We may be
slowed down in some areas as the java-gnome developers are currently in
the middle of porting to gtk+2 (we will only use the gtk+2 code).

I will send many more messages as I am working on the software. If you
are interested in helping, please get in contact with me.
