Thread: RE: [Dynapi-Help] Problems with DynAPI2 and Dynacore

Haven't looked at your code yet, but just a fast note that I recently (last
weekend) uploaded a new set of widgets to work with the latest DynAPI
(atleast tested with Dynacore) so if you have older widgets you'll probably
need to update.

sorry, but that's all for now (haven't got much time :)
