The main problem I had with the pointers and the memory-handling.

I made a ... how do you call it... such a time of 2 years, where you learn a new job. I worked for 10 years with handicaped people, then I changed the profession to IT specialist (german: Fachinformatiker). Though without a real job atm.

We had some weeks in C during these 2 years, but I did not understand it.

This year, I wanted to enhance wxBasic with wrappers for xlib.
So I had to learn it.
Very helpfull was a tutorial about imlib2, and a book.with 800 pages.
Now I am able to modify and enhance smaller routines, but developing complete applications would certainly last 5 times longer than in wBasic or Perl.

So I will stay with this if possible ;)

Uploaded version 08 (see first message).

It now can export to JWM to a submenue "Personal Menue (wxb)".

This JWM-Submenue will not be saved to a remastered CD, but the wxB-Menue itself will be.
So after you created a new CD, run the menueeditor, and simply export the existing menue again to JWM.


Now you also can use the "Icon"-Button to open the application-folder.
This allows easy addition of Icons delivered with the application.
Note that JWM supports .xpm only, whereas wxB-menue supports several formats.

Also note, that you should leave the "DotPups"-Menue at first position, or your menue gets a bit puzzled by the installation of some Dotpups (what you could correct by moving entries up/down).

It is not perfect, but might be more comfortable than editing .jwmrc with beaver ;)

Greets, Mark
