all c/c++/vb devs read
i need help with my nsis gui, slate blue. it is becoming way too much work for me to finish by myself, within a reasonable timeframe. below is a list of things that i can use help on:

using vc++ to allow the NSIS DLL written by pjw (i believe) to send the status text to my program, or to write it to a .txt file so i can load it into my program. also allow my program to compile nsis scripts quickly and easily with the dll. (slate blue is written in vb).
then there's just help with the program; a better way to parse scripts, layout ideas, etc.

let me know,

I could modify the dll so that it simply logs to the handle of a supplied edit window, rather than having the callback function.

Included in the newest dll downloadable is a function
'int Process_Script_Param(char *filename, char *defines, BOOL SetDir, BOOL do_config, LPARAM lParam);

if you give lParam the valid handle of an edit window, the output will be logged to there.. (ala makenwin as included in the download).

I was trying to go to COMDEX this year to learn C-bang (C# - microsoft's new programming language). But it is only $800.00!!!! But I may not go. UNLESS, they had an educational discount :P

But no matter what, I would be glad to help. duanejeffers@users.sourceforge.net is my e-mail address. e-mail me with what I could do.

That's C-sharp, not C-bang :) C-bang would be "C!"

And I would stay away from it if I were you. It's basically Java, but without the cross-platform compatibility. Microsoft got its official Java license revoked so they put out their own similar language instead.

Don't buy into their sinister schemes to corrupt the free programmers of the world!

I know quite a bit about parsing Text files (my editor TibEd).
So perhaps I could write a new parser... not sure if it's needed, because I haven't looked at any code, but it's possible.
I don't have a lot of time at the moment though - in 2 weeks I'll know if I have the time to do it.
