sparge,

Yes, as John mentioned, all that you mentioned as absent is optional and Exit bitmap is also there, i do not think i need to post resources, anyone can use own ones.

Just to emphasize my point better, here are real numbers: in my 250000 lines Fortran code i have 20000 lines Clarwin part and 100 lines Resource file, hence we have the whole right not to count 0.5% of "colateral" resource code since in average this is less than 1 character per line.

And FTN95 is the compiler where implicit none is almost useless since it has undefined variable check which is much more powerful anti-error "pest control".

Please post the source code for any other GUI builder, who cares in which platform or language.

I glad, jjgermis, that you share my point that it is amazing that this compiler developers are losing the customers by not emphasizing their work. Working in the largest scientific institutions in the world and visiting many others i used, tried or at least saw all existing Fortran compilers for all platforms IBM, DEC, Unix, Cray, Sun and literally was shocked that no one knows Salford FTN77/95 ones which as soon as they appeared always were a whole decade ahead of others.

As one develops a program using Clearwin+, the resources section grows - and the more one tries to cover all the options of screen sizes and resolutions, the worse it gets. For me, the single critical incantation is the mystical

The numbers cannot be changed. There are no other options.

You can write your own manifest but the last time I look at this there was nothing of significance that you could change in this context.

Perhaps I'll never understand it. It seems that "24" means "Manifests" and "1" means "use the default" and "default.manifest" means "if you forgot what 1 and 24 do, here's a clue".

However, the line really does make a real improvement in the look of Clearwin programs ....

sparge,

What the heck it's of "academic interest"? Do not like "one fortran line" -- ok, it's just 132 symbols per one such window. No one is interested in writing just one single window in the whole program. In last case even 1000 lines per such a window will be OK, who cares. But Clearwin has no advantage for one-window programs.

Practically, resource file added at link time used not only for many windows of same program but for many programs.

The 1 and the 24 are magic Microsoft numbers used when compiling a resource that is a manifest file. You will be able to find further information on MSDN but it won't help anyone.
