ok folks, I thought I was going to stay out of the decision, but I remembered what I said on the site, that if someone had a request I would do my best to fulfill it!
well Lamar has made his request clear, as follows:"my vote is for C++ as long as it's something I can play with using minGW, with it's win32 API"
so if someone could do this I would appreciate it. respects, inthane. For Blind Programming assistance, Information, Useful Programs, and Links to Jamal Mazrui's Text tutorial packages and Applications, visit me at:

Juce, the podcatcher, has been download more than 2.5 million times according to its web site. Audacity is a well known CD ripper -- also based on WxWidgets. I agree that one should not simply be positive for the sake of being positive -- though that does help human relations and motivation to do good. A relentless negative message is certainly not helpful either. Jamal On Wed, 14 Nov 2007, Octavian Rasnita wrote:

I agree that Wx is for the moment the only somehow accessible GUI which is portable on more operating systems. I also like the fact that it is somemore advanced than other GUIS. For the moment I am not so interested in itsportability, but I might be. But I don't agree with that "list of successful programs". It is a very small list of programs, and they are not what I understand by "successful". I understand by successful one of the following: Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, MS Word, MS Excel, Mozilla Firefox,Microsoft Age of Empires, Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun, Eidos Commandos, Nero Burning ROM, programs for using a TV Tunner, Windows Explorer, and manyother programs which are used by hundread of million people. I didn't verify, but I doubt that some of them are made using Wx Widgets.Even with the latest years .net hype, I think that most of their interfacesare made using MFC (of course, with the exceptions of those like Firefox that were started just to compete Microsoft). But don't understand me wrong. I didn't say that I am not interested in WxWidgets samples under C++.
