Hello,
I am proud to announce the release of Sword3 Beta6. There has been
great improvements since beta5. Here are the major changes:
1. Compilation of the text-based part of the library 'out of the box'
on MSDOS using DJGPP compiler. The graphical part has not been
ported to this plateform yet, but this is under development now
(many thanks to Alexander Bokovoy who did a lot for this).
2. The graphical package now has an automatic placement algorithm.
No more need to compute coordinates when creating dialog boxes.
Moreover, it allows full resizing of components.
3. Unified management of the command line. This allow Sword to
intercept its 'standard' command line options, leaving the remaining
ones to the client application.
4. A begining of html online documentation (very begining, but it is
better
than nothing).
5. A cd-audio driver class for Linux/Solaris/Win32.
6. Lot of other minor changes detailed in the documentation.
The library is compiled and tested regularly on those systems (please
see the documentation for more precision about the tools and compilers
needed) :
MSDOS, DJGPP (only the text-based part)
WIN32, Visual C++ 5/6
UNIX, Linux, GCC 2.8.1 or EGCS 1.1
UNIX, Solaris, GCC 2.8.1
UNIX, Aix, GCC 2.8.1 (except the multithread classes)
This library is freely distributed with source code under the Gnu Public
License version 2. You can have more information on this and download
the
version (full source code or linux-x86 binaries) at:

delayed of one day or

And don't hesitate to email me any comment or suggestions (or bug
reports...)
Enjoy!
Eric Nicolas.
