Re: [paragui-dev] [PATCH] ParaGUI Unicode Support

[Alexander Pipelka]

Hi Mohammed,

Thanks for your really great contribution and sorry for the late reply
(been quite busy lately).
UNICODE support is an issue that has been asked for several times. Your
patch really increases ParaGUI's value.

A sample application showing how to use UNICODE support would make the
"users" life a lot easier (i can already see incoming emails asking
about that). :))

May i publish the screenshot on the ParaGUI website ?
I think I'll publish a news items announcing UNICODE support.

I already commited your code to the CVS.

Thanks for your help.

Alex

PS: I had a wonderful time in Egypt. I really love all these great reefs
around Shar El'Sheikh. I'll return next year. Promised. ;o)
