Oh really?
I've never really gotten into it. (PG_RichEdit that is).  I started my
pgstring class (thankfully) before reading it's code - so thankfully the
pgstring (somewhat more intelligent string) code is quite different -
although with similar capability.

Okay, I'll look into this one.  Shouldn't be that big a deal - actually
following html 'traditional' layout is much harder.

Well I just -hope- the work I'm doing benefits the community.
Otherwise I wouldn't offer it back.  Or even mention anything.

Come to think of it, I should release source to the C translation one of
these days.  It's not 100% working yet - although it now opens a window
and (somewhat) renders a background.  Mouse works fine.   Actually
strangely enough it's showing the same flaws my opengl driver shows.  am
suspecting more C++-related bugs...

G'day, eh? :)
