    Guikachu is the premiere solution for creating PalmOS resource files
    on UNIX operating systems, and it is also available as Free Software,
    as defined by the GNU GPL. "Resources" are data statically linked into
    PalmOS applications, and contain information about user-visible things
    like strings, windows, and menu structures. Guikachu, based on the
    GNOME 1.4 libraries, makes it possible to visually edit these files in
    an easy-to-use WYSIWYG way, under the popular GNOME desktop environment.

    Guikachu is available for immediate download at
             http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu

    We are proud to offer version 1.4, our new production-quality release,
    with several new features, including the following:

            * RCP importing: edit your legacy PilRC files in Guikachu
            * Totally redesigned the Form Editor internals, resulting in
              huge speed-up and improvements in responsiveness
            * GnomeVFS integration
            * Throughout undo system
            * Cut & Paste
            * Support for Bitmap resources and widgets
            * New translations: Portuguese, Serbian, Czech, Dutch, Irish,
              Ukrainian, Macedonian, Malaysian, and for added fun value:
              British and Canadian English
            * And, of course, lots of bug fixes and miscellaneous small
              usability improvements

    Learning Guikachu is easy with the included documentation, a complete
    example application, and a web-based feature guide at
    <http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/tour>. To lower the barrier
    of entry even further, Guikachu is translated to more than twenty
    languages by volunteers from all over the globe.

    Now that Guikachu 1.4 is out, we'll discuss our future road-map on the
    Guikachu mailing list, open to participation to anyone at
    http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/guikachu-main

    Guikachu is created by Gergõ Érdi, with contributions from Nathan
    Kurz, Jay Bloodworth, and Christopher Keith Fairbairn. The Guikachu
    artwork was done by Basilico Briceno. Source code includes code
    snippets by Martin Schulze. Widget icons are taken from the excellent
    UI editor Glade, by Damon Chaplin. Special thanks to Murray ***
    and Daniel Elstner for their C++ hints every now and then, to Roger So
    for providing Debian packages of Guikachu, and to all our translators
    who made our application easier to use for non-English speakers.
