May be you could also implement gb.gtk with the GDI library :-)))))

Oh, this is new for me! I didn't knew that these functions were 
deprecated by the LSB...

Well, after all it seems it's the time to change my code :-))). OK, you 
seem to be right, then I'll write again the DNS calls in the gb.net 
component, may be this week-end, but I'll keep also the old code safe as 
I don't know if there will be problems with that new one...
