I'm proud to have made my first GNU-tools port and my first Cygwin port Animabob-Cygwin-1.0. Its the visualization package that mates to all of my Numpy FDTD code. Get it on my website. Interestly on my laptop with Win2K it runs almost as fast as the native FreeBSD code. Yet on my machine at work its very slow- I think it has to do with color depth and screen resolutions. I'll find out today. I pretty much gave up on all the other visualization packages for Windows as they were either giant elephants or couldn't render 3d movies of array dumps. OpenDX would have been nice but it dumps core on every platform I've tried it on. I'm told this is fixed in CVS. Rob. -- The Numeric Python EM Project www.members.home.net/europax
