[Openmcl-devel] windows

[Joakim Sandgren]

thank you for infos! hope you can do something with the mcl-code.  
that'll be really super when it comes! and the coloring also...
can't wait ;-)

I was starting to believe that you where supposed to do this in cocoa- 
bridge-ccl nswindow yourself...
so your mcl-solution sounds good...

Sincerely

Joakim
