The program would be much easier to modify by people who is not x-literate. Plus (and i already commented this to Randall): prova# cd /usr/ports/x11/fxtv/work/fxtv-0.45/ prova# wc *.[ch] ... 18557 68208 638756 total and frankly this is quite a bit of code for a single application. I think using some different toolkit for the GUI would make it much smaller. cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
