Subject: Re: [ANN] - EZFX Editor 0.6.0

Screenshots - nope. Maybe in a bit. - there really isn't anything that
needs to be 'shown' in the screenshots, but I always prefer them when
I look at using someone elses product... so I'll probably get some in
a bit.

Sourcecode - it's in the EXE. Just open it in a text editor and keep
searching for 'require'.

An Editor or an IDE... I prefer to call it an Editor - though it might
fall closer to an IDE...

Future direction: I want _one_ program that does everything I do with,
SciTe, EXERB, and NSIS. I also want to make building FXRuby GUI's
easier along with extending/customizing the EZFX Editor for some
personal and currently undefined scripting environment. I'd say I'm
about 75% of the way there.

Scintilla? Yup, and it was a _beast_ to figure out (still is a beast)
- but I like it.

Close source: It's not really closed source, since everything I use is
already available online somewhere else (FXRuby, SQLite, etc.), and
the plain text version of the source can be found in the installers
resulting EXE. I packaged my scripts the way I did so that my target
audience (my mom or dad) could use what I create without hassle.
