Well the c win32 version you have compiles in c++ with mingw.  There is
really no difference between the c++ and c versions unless you want me to
wrap each control like mfc does and I don't think that is needed.  So if he
wants a simple one to compile with mingw g++ get that one.

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,

By any reasonable standard, WxWidgets is a successful GUI library.
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.
