Will do, then.

Er, yes, I suppose that might look a bit odd. I'm still most comfortable
working under Windows, though I am the original author of a cross-platform
GUI toolkit (http://www.wxwindows.org). My main job at Red Hat is to port
an MFC app to Linux (using wxWin). Among other things I'm interested about
the possibility of porting [a subset of] wxWindows to MicroWindows.
Many thanks for the tips.
Best regards,
Julian
