Actually I was hoping on using the perl module, keeping things closer to the real thing (IE the C client lib) sounds like a great idea. It looks like I'll have to wait until then to use the newest picoGUI. thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Micah Dowty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 5:12 PM To: Gray, Tim Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Pgui-devel] Framebuffer issues The Perl client library is very old. It has always been inefficient, and it hasn't kept up with a few major format changes in the server's network code. If you need a perl client lib, I would prefer to scrap the current one and make a perl module with (almost) the same syntax as the C client lib that calls the C client lib for the actual interface. If you just want to see what that typing program was like, you can grab the CVS from around August or September last year and it will work.
