Sorry im on linux.. I cannot open exe files.
Please also distribute a zip (or tgz) containing the source code for 
non-windows users which want to browse the code.
I would like to browse the code.. maybe I can learn a few things (and 
ultimatively get inspiration to solve some of my issues with fox).
Thanks.

this sounds like an editor optimized for fxruby development?
interesting.  

what is NSIS?

what does the remaining 25% cover?

to me.. distributing as .exe file seems closed source.  Sorry that I had to 
ask this unpleasant question if it were closed/open source.

please distribute the source code so that non-windows users can see your 
project.


Thanks for the answers
