Hi, everybody!

This is to announce the first public release of GtkUnit. (No real version number by now, just the timestamp "20010228".) GtkUnit is a set of units, test programs and programs from the Gtk+ tutorial written in GPC to allow Pascal programmers to use a comfortable interface to the Gtk+ library.

GtkUnit should compile and work successfully on every system supported by GPC with a working Gtk+ library installation. We (Eike and I) invite anyone to code their own programs and help us find out bugs, often due to typos during the port process. In fact, no automagic translator was used.

The main web site of the Gtk+ port project is reachable at http://www.swlibero.org/~nikke/gtkunit/. In the future, this will contain the updated information about the project as well as pointers to projects based on GtkUnit (in case there are any;-)).

I won't be reachable for 4/5 days, because I will be on a school trip, so write to Eike Lange eike.lange@uni-essen.de instead. We hope we'll get bug reports (and fixes;-)), but also some thanks would be appreciated. :-PP

Thanks to Frank Heckenbach for his advice!

Have much fun with GtkUnit!
