I didn't think Fabien, or other programmers, would have had much objections with you making Gambit Fruit because it clearly went in another direction than Fruit, and that required experimentation anyway. In my opinion, now Fabien still has to do that but by himself.. I don't think Fabien ever posted an opinion about it here? I think it is a pity that the project has stopped now, but your and Fabien's sources are still there, maybe one day I'll learn C to try some changes myself! In 2010 or so.. Thanks for the various Gambit Fruits, Eelco
