Hi Yves,
I found the file, however, it seems too tough for me. I once wrote a JPG
parsing
program in VB which was hard enough, but I don't know how to approach this one.
It could be a good idea to put the Windows issue up for discussion on the
GTKtalog web
site. I think if more Linux programs were available in Windows so that you can
get
comfortable with them, it would make more people switch to Linux in the end -
it was
the same with me; I only started with Linux when OpenOffice came out and I had
a
replacement for Microsoft Office.
Well, for now I will continue using Advanced Disk Catalog over Wine, which
works quite
well.
Anyway, thanks for your help; if I can do anything for you guys (translating
or such)
then get back in touch!
Au revoir,
Stefan

Windows. I like GTKtalog very much and intend to use it; however, I need a
program
which produces disk catalogs readable under MS Windows. I thought about porting
GTKtalog to Windows. Unfortunately, I'm not capable of programming C, but I'm
quite
experienced with VisualBasic (don't laugh now!)

Windows, but I don't know how to, and anyway I couldn't bugfix it if the port
wouldn't work in the first place. But maybe there is someone who is capable of
doing
that ?!

I will
not be able to help you more than that, except maybe it you ask me questions.
