Re: [Ayttm-devel] Prefs window

[Edward L. Haletky]

Hello,

We do have one third party module. It is an encryption module. I think
that the module path should be settable by an env var or at the very
least modifiable on installation not build. I am 'reporting' to windoze
and that is what is generally required over there as well. It would be
good to support the widest range of possibilities.

If you change the 'prefs' window please make it a compile time option as
the older one does work on other platforms and I am not so sure about
any newer ones. Just a thought.
