RE: XWin design suggestion


Harold

I never unsubscribed from Cygwin-xfree and Cygwin lists.  I only went
into passive mood because why bable when I could not contribute :-)

I will send you CD once I have your info.

Chris had win32-x11 project setup with a mailing list and CVS
repository.  Is it still there?  If it is, maybe you take it over.  It
will allow other contributors to access code via CVS and contribute.

Suhaib,

I was wondering if you had been watching the list :)

Yes, I think I would be interested in that CD.  I will email you 
off-list with my address.
