With help from this list, namely from Chris and Matthias, I've finished and release version 1 of an application I've written with MacPerl for users of X-Plane and similar flight simulators which use real-time weather information. Just like to extend my thanks to all that helped. This application uses menus, dialogs, resource files and sockets among other things. The code is still pretty messy but feel free to take a look at it. You can download it from <http://www.whatexit.com/rwx>. It is a self-contained runtime with embedded libraries, custom icons, cursors and stuff. Never thought I could do it with PERL :) - nghai _________________________________________________________________________ Hai Ng "Virtual Tools for the Real World" Digital Image Design Incorporated 72 Spring Street Sixth Floor New York NY 10012 Phone: 1-212-343-2442 ext 226 Fax : 1-212-343-0440 Email: nghai@didi.com WWW : http://www.didi.com Coordinates: 40deg 43' 20.0" North 73deg 59' 52.4" West Altitude : 176 ft ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
