Too bad :(

I have downloaded the cvs not from 20th June though, just did a cvs wxwindows.

I have managed to build wxwindows by hacking the files that broke the make, but as I am not entirely sure what I was doing whn I tried to use wxwindows I got lots of crashes ( not surprisingly really )

I read that dmc is in the process of changing to bakfiles, I notice from cvs sources that a few vendors are using them as well.

Hopefully wxWindows will be available for dmc soon
