Is there a Dotpup or pet of wxLua? Would anyone be willing to create one, please?

I just have an archive from february 2004.
You can extract it somewhere, and then run run-microbrowser-linux or "wxlua.exe microbrowser01.wx.lua".

Both, Linux and Windows versions of wxLua are included.
Download and screenshots (microbrowser001.tgz):
http://puppyfiles.org/dotpupsde/diverse-tgz/

I also uploaded wxLua-examples-and-pdf.tgz , the reference-documentation.

Microbrowser is a small "proof of concept", to embed wxLua-Code in HTML-pages.
It allows to run local applications from that browser (this does not work with seamonkey or Opera).
In Puppy, you will need to create a symlink "nedit" to one of Puppys Texteditors to see that it works.

Thank you Mark!

I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. One of these days I'll know as much about Puppy and Linux as I do windows and I won't have to ask for everything.

Unfortunately this version is quite old, so it will be worth to create a new one.

But for smaller programs it might be ok.

mark,

there's a self-installing auto-package for wxLua available here:

http://wxlua.sourceforge.net/download.php#linux

but i vaguely recall that you had a work-around to get auto-packages to work with puppy's busybox.
