Hi Flemming and others, I've had some more experince now, but still not succes. Most of the problems, I have a good feeling on hwo to deal with, though. If anyone's interreseted I'll keep you posted. However, this is a spare time project, so don't expect rapid development. On Thu, 3 Feb 2000 21:31:08 -0500 "videbaek" <videbaek@sgs1.hirg.bnl.gov> wrote: > Kris alluded to 'experience with win95'.

I'm familiar with the problem you refer to, since I tried the old Cygnus myself around that time, too. > So in the end I ended up using nmake and dos commands with VC++ to > deal with building brat on win95.

I guess my intent was to go OpenSource, and really to avoid VC++. Another point, is that using Cygnus, your using the same compiler as you would on Linux/Unix (Solaris?), and that I believe will make for a smother transaction of code. Also, I'm gonna try to run an Xserver on Windoze95, and if that happens, I guess the ROOT GUI classes should work on Windoze (including Kris' BrMointor<x> classes!). But this is just for fun, and to show people, that GNU's is Not Untanglable (pun _is_ intended), and OpenSource really is better! Of course it remains to be seen!?
