You were not bugging me or pressuring me. ;) I just wanted to clear up that
little bit of confusion about the maximize() method.

Not yet, but I appreciate the offer. I will keep it in mind. ;)

Part of the delay, other than of course the usual lack of time, is that I'm
actually trying to complete two different projects. One is, as you know, the
update of FXRuby to FOX 1.2 compatibility. This is going pretty well in the
sense that all of the existing classes have been updated, tests are passing,
and the example programs have been updated. Most of the completely new
classes have not been "wrapped" yet, but I think I'm probably at a good
point for the first alpha release of FXRuby 1.2.

The *other* project is completion of the "What's New in FOX 1.2" guide
(http://www.knology.net/~lyle/fox/1.2/WhatsNew.html). I think it would be
foolhardy of me to release FXRuby 1.2 without at least giving some heads-up
about what to expect in terms of API changes and so forth. With a C++-based
FOX application, you'd at least get a lot of complaints from the compiler
when you're trying to port from FOX 1.0 to FOX 1.2. With FXRuby, of course,
some of those porting problems due to name changes, changes to method
arguments, etc. won't (necessarily) show up when you run your application.
