[Savannah-hackers-public] Re: [Savannah-users] project approval

[LynX]

Hello,

Thank you all for your responses.

I just want to add that currently PropertiesWindow (and HardDrivesMenu 
it is second extension mentioned in P.S.) provided under Visual Studio 8 
and 10 commercial editions. So I am going to port them to Visual Studio 
Express edition which is freeware, so everyone could easily build/modify 
the sources.

Thank you,
LX
