I'm confused. I set my PICList settings to digest and that works sort of. The header of
John's post shows that he sent to the list. No cc to me. I got the mail. The only thing
I've done to the listserver is request HTML (only getting one post a day in the digest)
and haven't gotten my daily yet unless this is it and in that case, this time it didn't
even have attachments. Maybe I need to try NOMIME. Wonder if that works *with*
HTML. I'm beginning to like the archive.

One thing I noticed, though. If I had hit "reply" and sent blindly,  this post would have
gone directly to John. Something ain't right with that. I've always had to start a new
mail or fix the To: line.

And you'll never be able to enjoy object oriented programming :-) Old C, bah!

stdafx works? That's interesting. I always hated the way VS makes me set my pre-
compiled headers setting just *so* and I can't remember how I used to get away with
no stafx.

I'll clarify. wxwindows wraps all those GUI calls, be they API, Qt, or K. The compiler
puts the right calls in for the platform  , which may or may not be defined by the IDE.
It's easy to learn the framework, too. I expended little effort on my first GUI (which
was a Smith chart app) with that framework. Open some Touchstone files, plot the S-
params, select a device and freq, solve for conjugate match. Add a cap, the cursor
restricts to the appropriate constant reactance/admittance circle.

Before anyone asks, that app isn't complete.

BRs,
Mike
