The Fruit Basket suite has recently been moved to the Raising the Floor Initiative (raisingthefloor.net). RTF is a new pan-disability organization led by Gregg Vanderheiden and Jim Fruchterman and a few of us on this list are on the management team for blind and low vision issues.


Happy Hacking,

Hi all, I'm knew to the list, but take quite an interest in programming, particularlly for windows, using a gui interface. HOwever, I have a couple of questions.

1. What happen to the fruit basket demo project? Is it still somewhere on the web? 2. Is it still advised, or advantagious to program in the win32 API? Most docs these days seem to indicate using windos forms, and it appears that in my tests, supernova/hal from dolphin doesn't like this environment. 3. Out of lua, python and ruby, what language provides good access to windosfeatures, such as gui interface, comm automation, etc? Maybe java?

Thanks for any help that you can offer,
Arthur.
