I agree 100%
I just get something bedded down on NT - try it on Linux - no go. Sort it
out on Linux, try it on Win98 - no go. sort it out on Win98, try it back on
Linux - no go
It's never ending - classes which derived from JComponent this time derive
from JObject next then back to JComponent. When will we make up our mind and
stick to it?
I'm giving it away for a while until I get another burst of motivation -
back to delphi and win32
