Is it not under GNU license? I thought the FPC site can give it away with the
source if they wish.

If it is a band width problem I can try to arrange to give you a box in Canada
to mirror to it, if would help, I have a cable modem connection and about 100G
of space.

This is what I meant when I said horrible.

The app is actually looking for gdk-1.3.dll etc.
Do you mean that gdk-1.2.dll (if it is called this) is compatible with
gdk-1.3.dll
I did find gtk+-1.3.0-20020313.zip on http://www.gtk.org/  but it contains
libgtk-0.dll and libgdk-0.dll are these the same files? Do I need to change
the FPC source to use these?
