Is this a commercial product? If so, please tell me who publishes it so I can get my favorite computer store to order one for me. If not, please tell me where I can get a look at it.

I have abandoned using Power Windows in favor of Tcl for new development, but for those still developing with it or those needing to bring their Power Windows code up to Manx 5.0, there'll be a couple things you'll need to do: Compile the C source output by PW with "-wo" set (this keeps some ptr/int problems from ending the compile; the PW people should have used casts on some things) In an include file referenced by the PW-generated code, or via some other means, "#undef NULL" and "#define NULL 0". (the new Manx defines NULL as (void *)0, which causes some invalid-use-of-datatype errors because they used NULL for some byte values and such) -- -- uunet!sugar!karl "If you do everything, you'll win." -- LBJ -- Usenet access: (713) 438-5018

Given my current understanding of what Power Windows is, [a program to
create C code for intuition structures, gadgets, etc.] Tcl is quite
different. But given the extensions to Tcl for the Amiga that Karl
and Peter added for windows, etc... Well, it may be simpler to just
use Tcl. But I haven't used Power Windows before, and haven't used
Tcl as much as I want to, so Karl will have to give you a somewhat
more 'authoritative' answer.
