Re: [Pythoncard-users] Dead project?

[william G. <gun...@gm...>]

I'm new to pythoncard and very impressed. I'm currently in the final
stages of getting my book proposal approved. I plan to have a chapter
or two on pythoncard. So I certainly hope python-card continues to
live. Perhaps the book can give pythoncard more attention.

Thank you
