I was asked to start porting FRED2 from MFC to wxWidgets (wxWindows) so that it is more easily managed, and it will be usable on non-windows platforms

I was a madman and I said yes.... so hopefully i'll have something to show soon



I am also going to start making new versions of PCS and VPCS

PCS2: interface written in WX and will be having bobboau help me code it so it will be sucking up aurora's features

VPCS2: you know my nice nifty commandline vp compiler i made when i depricated VPCS? we'll VPCS is that with a GUI :D



i'll probably have VPCS2 done first, and soon

Can't wait for PCs2 if it'll have the spec, glow, and auto path/turret features of Aurora. And HTl support. :D

i'm probably not going to use the WYSIWYG so it saves us $30... even if it takes more time

Out of curiosity, what is MFC? Is it a horrible coding language?

AKA not portable, and not nice.

As for the tools, I'm glad someone has taken up the challenge.  I just hope you don't explode with the effort.
