Ok,marc ;) I have sent u a mail to: marc.piulach(at)live.com. Sure it will be clasified as Spam so give a look there.I have sent the email in perfect Spanish(i guess u are from Spain,or at least you understand Spanish). There are at least 2 Reacters in Seville with time to show Reactos in Imaginatica.Also some other spanish people have shown some interest to help with it. You can contact with me in vicmarcal(at)hotmail.com, so we can begin (if u want) to prepare this Event. Thanks Marc. _________________________________________________________________ Los más de lo más, Especial Rankings http://events.es.msn.com/dinero/listas/default.aspx

OpenWatcom.

Has anybody considered to use the openwatcom compiler for ReactOS? http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/Main_Page At least it provides a proper native SEH implementation and is as free as the GCC is. ➧ Marcin Dalecki ❖

[ros-diffs] [jimtabor] 37345: - Add path support for ExtTextOut.

I think if the dev is not known, then all authors should be credited. I.e.: "Parts of this file are Copyright (C) ... ". Or: to gather the original Wine copiright notices into a separate file and put a pointer to it in any file which is based on Wine.
