Tobias, when you say a couple of hours a week, what sort of things need to be done. Is this just a case of grabbing the latest sources, recompiling and testing? Or is there editing of changes into files required? What sort of issues do you come across? Are the issues you come across for Power PC different to what would happen for Intel? Or since Snow Leopard has Rosetta, could the PPC version be used? (No I am not a Mac developer, but I do have Xcode installed on my Snow Leopard machine. And I am...

Go and learn something about effective project management. One-man-bands are not it. I am out of here - there are plenty of other things I can do.

All I saw was you non-specifically denigrating my management style, with criticisms that, at least to me, could be taken as having multiple meanings. I wasn't exactly sure what you wanted. Now, I think I sort of understand what you...

I spent the day comparing HERMES Mail to other eMail clients and, as it turns out, I know exactly how to position it in the market: as a competitor to Postbox. HERMES (as Eudora) had many of Postbox's features LONG before there was a Postbox to begin with... and I think we can steal their clients ;) Have a look at https://www.postbox-inc.com/.https://www.postbox-inc.com/. It seems like every single one of their features, Eudora has... and nobody else. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Domain fencing? We've got...

(AFK) No wait. I'm on 64-bit Linux. I'm not thinking straight. Let me get home and I'll check to be absolutely sure.... This is one aspect where it is important to know what operating systems it is intended to implement for. Older operating systems were 32 bit. Newer ones 64 bit. Do you produce two versions for each platform, or do you say "we are not going to support 32 bit operating systems". Cheers David

I have been giving thought to how best to handle text in Hermes given the desire to produce versions for Linux and Mac. Broadly there are three options, as follows: (1) Handle all text as UTF-8 and, in Windows, convert to UTF-16 at a low level when dealing with the Windows API. (2) Handle all text as UTF-16 and, in Linux, convert to UTF-8 at a low level when calling Linux APIs. (3) Use MSVC's TCHAR mechanism which allows text to be either UTF-8 or UTF-16 depending on a compilation option. For Windows...
