Re: Problems getting 0.4.99 to run under win32

[Bajusz Tamas]

Hi!

If you want to help GNUe, please test the CVS head,
not the old prereleases.
But i have to say, the forms setup.py isn't perfect today.
You have to copy some files by hand (dialogs/*/*.gfd IIRC).
(It will be fixed soon.)

The win32 native driver is not ready for testing yet.
It misses event handling, so it's readonly now.

If SAP-DB is too "big animal" for you, try 
Firebird with kinterbasdb.
