You might like to look into winelib; it provides many of the win32 api calls under linux (or other unices).

vikram, what you gave at first were not URL's. I don't know what you expected the software to do with them. =)

Je n'aime pas la langue parce que nous la devons apprendre dans l'ecole.

I'm sure that's absolutely correct, though I haven't got a clue what it means. *chuckle*

You don't have to learn French at school? Lucky you.

i had to, and from what i remember the above scentence says something along the lines of you not liking the langauge because you had to learn it in school, or something like that. i hope

We have to choose between learning German or French. Seeing I didn't like German at that time, and I couldn't get French, I didn't take either classes (well, I took German for 1 year as required, then stopped).

The school system here: names might be wrong, there based on the Hollywood movies. But they can be usefull to compare:
4 years kindergarden, 6 years junior, 6 years high school then 4 years college or univercity. After the 6 years of high school we do get a usefull diploma. Less than 3 months to go, and I have my first real diploma. Then 4 years of college and I'll have a degree from which I know the title.


We have to take French from the 5th year junior until the 6th year of high school. And if unlucky you'll get it in univercity too. Luckely it's not in the course (or whatever I'm supposed to call it) I'm going to take.
Meaning I only have to survive less than 20 lessons. There is light at the end of the long, boring, dark tunnel.
After 10 years of mental torture I'm almost free and after all that time I can actually make a few usefull sentences. (Perhaps studieing might have helped) But I can read most of the French texts. So basically I had to wast a whole lot of time for nothing. Especially because I always use English if I have to communicate with a French speaking person, which they really, really hate. (I'm not sadistic, it's just a form of rebellion against the French suppression here)

And knowing that it is because the lower half this F***ing country is pretending to speak French (Wallonie sucks), costs us enormous amounts of money and think they are better than we are because they speak a mutated form of French <skipping 107 pages covering a small part of the things that suck in this country and why our monarchy should be taken out and shot>

I have been studying Japanese for the last eight months and I am happy to say that I can now say some useful things in that language. I wonder if this message board will properly display Japanese text?

Hmm it displays properly only if I configure my web browser to use Encoding: Japanese (Shift-JIS).

Psion, is there a way to specify the encoding of a block of text in html? Would you provide an option for encoding in the reply form?

> is there a way to specify the encoding of a block of text in html

I recently wondered that myself, and found no solution. The only way is to have the entire document encoded in Unicode.
