Hi Russ,

There's probably the one or other finetuning still to come - I'd suggest=20
  that as soon as you find the time you supply me/us with the beta=20
version of the sources, then I can do a thorough "proofreading" on them=20
too.

Issues like different word orders will probably also arise (apart from=20
just the vocabulary, the grammar obviously also changes as you switch=20
languages - so if you say "can't copy file xy" in English, you'd=20
normally make a sentence "Kann Datei xy nicht kopieren" in German out of=20
it), so there's still some stuff to do once you've finished unpacking ;-)

> Excellent :-)

Work is progressing here, I hope to have a working setup ready by=20
tonight. Since I currently do not have the script for the installer (so=20
far I only found the MSI stuff in the CVS - or am I looking in the wrong=20
place?), this initial version will have no installation script ready=20
just yet - that may change pretty quickly too though, as I get the hang=20
of Inno Setup...

You'll most certainly be one of the very first to hear about this :-)

I have created a special section for the work on Panic Button on my=20
website - obviously all in German though ;-)

http://www.a2b-consulting.com/index.php?option=3Dcom_content&task=3Dcateg=
ory&sectionid=3D4&id=3D19&Itemid=3D27

(yes, and abreviation of that URL is in the making - most likely=20
something to the tune of http://www.a2b-consulting.com/panicbutton/ -=20
this is just a preliminary link to show where on that website it's going=20
to be located...)

I found that when I compile Panic Button, it complains about a missing=20
module "_grabscreen" - yet the screen grabbing *DOES* work. I couldn't=20
find any mentioning of that module in the sources of Panic Button, so I=20
suspect a little "bug" in the PIL version I use (I tried my luck with=20
1.1.5)...

Error message as from the compiler when trying to copy the DLLs:

*** copy dlls ***
copying C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\py2exe\run_w.exe ->=20
C:\DOKUME~1\gjensen\EIGENE~1\DOWNLO~1\PANICB~1\src\Panic_Button_Source_Co=
de_2-3\dist\PanicButton.exe
The following modules appear to be missing
['_grabscreen']

As I said: Panic Button seems to work though...
