John,

> Hi Dave, great job!
> Really nice program, one of the better demos to date.

Thanks. As I'm sure you know, my contribution is purely to make it modular
and build the makefiles. The original C code is from Microsoft's MSJ. Jeff
Shollenberger did most of the hard work of porting it to BCX.

Even at this stage in its development, it's way up toward the top of what I
had hoped to end up with as far as file system browsing.

> Bet you're going to make it into an incredible application!

I'm hoping that it will be possible to build some of the things I've been
dreaming about for years. The experience so far seems to indicate that BCX
is just about ready for the kinds of things I want to accomplish. I hit a
few things I had to work around and I would like for things to be a little
less manual in creating the makefiles and linking things together, but it
seems to be doable and is probably not as hard as doing it in C even with
the manual steps that are required.

I'm planning to snag all the BCX code I can find and stick it together in a
modular fashion and build a library of routines to draw upon.

> ITS FAST TOO!

Yes, I thought so too. I noticed the folders and files are not sorted
separately as Explorer does it. That might account for some of the speed
difference.

I'm hoping we can figure out how to not have to build twice. VC++ does not
have that problem. I wonder if any of the other compilers have the same
problem or if it's just a Pelles C thing - but not badly enough to figure
out how to build them. I'm hoping to some day have all the build stuff for
all the supported compilers in one batch/makefile. It's not too high on my
priority list though.

> Maybe in the description?

I'm trying to document the files with a message as I dump them. Hoping that
someone will follow the progress and create a dynamic multi-media tutorial
or a book or whatever.

Thanks for the comments. Glad to know someone is looking at it.
