This corresponds with my experience. I don't believe there are memory
leaks as such, but the complexity of the scripting seperates the men from
the boys, and then the appalling frustration of getting a hard crash with
no feedback for relatively small errors beats the men into submission.
It's just not something a non-autistic person can do in their spare time.
Tony seems to have got paid but even so, kudos to him for surviving!
BTW I also have an unfinished parent script wrapper for MUI. I was on my
way to modelling the whole thing, so that you could make an instance to
handle callbacks for each widget. In the end, my sanity was of more use to
me.
