mmmm Maybe they should add that to their help file.

Not very user friendly is it?

Phill.

dunno. they have different oppinions on what their users want than some users. but thats always the case. thats why there are option menues..

but hey, it's just outlook express. an outdated, not anymore supported program from the last way microsoft designed. thats even pre-xp, the design. it just got patches since then.

Patches, patches everywhere, but not a fix for the *real* bugs....

I found D by looking at hte programming languages directory on Google, because I thought "there is a C, i wonder if there is a D". If D didnt have such a crappy name, i would never have found it :)

they are hard working on solving the real problems. but with a 40gb codebase, thats not an easy task, is it? :D

but yes, they are trying to find the roots of evil. and they found quite some, wich require full recompilation of windows XP. they really do hard work.

I found out about D because somebody in the B++ group mentioned that Pavel Minayev's interest in D was why he had drifted away from his B++ project: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bpp-translator/message/1276

So I went to the Digital Mars website and found the D specification to be quite interesting.

But that was a couple of years ago, so this probably doesn't really answer your question. ;)

Word of mouth. A friend had me check it out, now I'm the one goading him to try downloading it.

People will be more attracted to "D" when somebody provides makefile for compiler linix distribution. It is hard to figure out on what platform and with what libraries binaries been compiled and linked.
