Hello all, > >I did not receive it as an insult anyway.

It wasn't my intention, by any stretch of the imagination, to be ethno-centric (neutrally or negatively). My apologies, whether I have given offense or not. Traditionally, I've heard the "It's Greek to me..."; however, these days, just about any non-English language is used (though some less often than others). From this point onward, I shall put a little more thought into what I'm thinking and typing! Here I was thinking that "long in the tooth" had been misunderstood. Funny how the international nature of the Internet points out glaring oddities in one's behaviour/thoughts. (For what it matters... I try to avoid smart-ass American comments... I use smart-ass Canadian comments 8-). Anyhow, on a different note. Many thanks for the wealth of resource material that everybody took the time to point out. It'll no doubt take some time to digest (so I'd best get to it! 8-). Matthew Hickson P.S. A further note. I'm current with Dev-C++ 4.0 (I like the extended Tools menu... You CAN run your favourite MIDI file from it! 8-) Is there a "plug-in" style API for Tools? (I admit, I'm remiss in downloading the source for the IDE, and my Delphi is... nearly non-existent, so it might not be my choice for developing something like that.) |
