editor for PalmOS projects

["Dr. ERDI Gergo" <cactus cactus rulez org>]

Dear users of both large and small computing tools,

A new unstable release of Guikachu is available.

About Guikachu
--------------
Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.

Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/

Features
--------
 * Uses GNOME-VFS, you can load files from anywhere, e.g. from the
   Web, from an SMB share, from a tarball.
 * Exporting to/importing from PilRC .rcp files
 * Support for non-Palm PilRC targets (like the eBookMan)
 * Support for the following PalmOS resource types:
	- String and string list resources
	- Dialog resources
	- Menu resources
	- Form resources
	- Bitmap resources
	- Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
 * WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability and visual resizing
 * Flexible, complete undo support
 * Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
 * Documentation (a complete user's manual)

About this release
------------------
This release should compile out-of-the-box on any Windows 2000 or
later version of Microsoft Windows, with MinGW and the required
libraries installed. A binary Win32 release will be provided shortly.

Note that since the Gnome-VFS and the libgnomeui dependancies are now
optional, it should also compile easily on MacOS X, without the X11
libraries. I haven't had the chance to test that yet.


Guikachu uses the GNOME 2 platform, particularly the GNOMEmm and GTKmm
C++ bindings. To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also
need PilRC (part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files
produced by Guikachu.


Beware of bugémons!
