<DIV><SPAN class=674155220-17122007><FONT face=Verdana size=2>The only issue
which I have with wx is the size of executable (I blame my size attitude to C
& Linux for that. I started my carrier as C on Linux developer), but after
your email I searched on internet and found that I can compress the size a lot
on that front and thus some time tomorrow I will give it a try.

for the information, I know the pain ;) it is causing me. <BR>The reason why
I went to use RC was that the over head on my final<BR>package size was
minimal. But now I think trying wxPython or Tkinker<BR>will be a better
solution in long run.<BR>

it's a lot of work for no particularly good reason.<BR><BR>It would be much
better in the long term for you to investigate wxPython<BR>or tkinter or one
of the other GUI wrappers, to let you create and <BR>manage your GUI with
something approaching Python's class philosophy.<BR><BR>--<BR>Tim Roberts,
