Hi,

Actually, you're quite wrong there. In the development branch (and from
the last discussed on there), it was somewhere near 86% done.

It was not too complicated at all. The problem was winelib was in
constant flux, so it was akin to hitting a moving target all of the
time.

> In short, your code will compile, but it won't run.

A lot of my code does run thank you... And it uses SWF.

TTFN
