[hobbit] Hobbit client for Windows

[Stew Lambert]

I have been trying to create a hobbit client on the side for a while.
However, I am not a coding Guru.  I have had some small experiences, with VB
6, but am not sure if that is the correct language to use.  I recently came
across a few code snippets for VB6 that may help us move towards a client.
I would be more than happy to collaborate with a few people to atleast get
the ball rolling.  Any takers?

Hi all

As I understand it, (and somebody please correct me where I go wrong) to get
a Hobbit client for working for Wondoze will require 3 components. 
1. We need a Windoze client to collect the standard data 2. We need a server
module to be able to interpret the data 3. We need a method of extending the
client with script or external applications.

Cygwin can only take us part the way there. It will allow us to compile the
current client, but can't collect all the data.
It will allow us to extend the functionality, but we are still limited to
command line.
Once we get 1 and 3 above working, item 2 should be pretty simple to do.

We need a few Windoze programming boffins on this one.
Does anybody on this list know of or work with any?

Regards
    Vernon
