hopefully, I have the sources to 1.3 and 2.2 so should be o.k. if there are
issues there, not sure which is installed, 1.3 I think
I might check through the PHP-GTK sources that I know worked under win32.
failing that I might reinstall the cygwin X server and have a play with
either GTK under cygwinX or X programming and start writing a widget set (or
use lesstif).

it could be that SWT is a wrapper over GTK which is a wrapper over X, how
does its performance compare to Swing (i.e. NetBeans IDE) looks nice but
runs slower than 1.0.2 awt on a p90 on my Duron 800.
it might also be your old GTK was not using the local X extensions, from
what I remember of X programming there are ways to improve performance if
your running your client app on the same machine as the X server.
the AWT I believe uses motif (or did last time I used Java on Unix [jdk
1.0.2])

you do know you can use extern(C) { .... file ... }  :)

some time ago I started ... http://www.l8night.co.uk/mwynn/d/deimos.html
documenting what was required, I wrote a version (burried on a backup cd
somewhere now)
but found that much of the win32 headers required a bit of manual tweeking
everywhere
so automating created twice the work checking its was right.
the only "transform" missing is
typedef struct foo_s {
    union {
        TA a; TB b;
    } n;
    TC c;
}foo * fooPtr;
(or nested struct)
has to become

union foo_u {
       TA a; TB b;
}
struct foo {
    foo_u u;
    TC c;
}
alias foo * fooPtr;
and you have to give anon struct/unions a name (which makes your code
horrid)

and D has align(n): to set the alignment if require

Try this for anon struct/unions:


struct Foo
{
    union { int a; int b; }
    struct { int c; int d; }
}

void main()
{
    Foo f;

    printf("Foo.size = %d, a.offset = %d, b.offset = %d, c.offset = %d,
d.offset = %d\n",
 f.size,
 0,
 &f.b - &f.a,
 &f.c - &f.a,
 &f.d - &f.a);
}

Just saw the screenshots. It looks very good!

great I did not know that, exactly what is required to make variant much nicer

just tried v0.68
Foo.size = 12, a.offset = 0, b.offset = 0, c.offset = 1,
d.offset = 2
though .... why not 4,8 (but remembered int * - int * )

DUI is the best library name EVER. :D

I'm sorry, but I can not find a place to download that software.
Is it still available?

Not yet, maybe tonight, probably tomorrow night.
