I have rather poor eyesight which made the small fonts and single pixel lines too hard to see at high resolution. While it did function for me, I found it too awkward to use and difficult for a beginner." It is from a beginner who did not care to select bigger fonts although it seems important to him. It is true however that Linrad is pixel oriented and people with poor eyesight need to set a smaller screen to get fewer pixels.
You mentioned Linrad was said to be unstable and crasching. I am interested to know where such information has been published. Surely there is a lot of false information on the Internet. This is an ugly example: http://www.uninstallapp.com/article/How-to-uninstall-Linrad-0.1.html It is for Windows, but it is a fraud. Linrad does not write anything in the registry as they claim. I guess they want money or want to install some malware. > I am not interested in the source code. Your software, here is my bug > report, feature request... your the author you can handle that.

Linrad comes as a tarball. You may add users_extra.c or users_hwaredriver.c to get functions of your own. You do of course not have to share what you do. Friendly users have supplied their files in the past and those contributions are now included in the Linrad tarball. 73 Leif
