I didn't have the time to do it :( From what he told me he would love to have a GGI port!! Yep, the more interfaces, the better. :) My main purpose was to get a web browser for the framebuffer, and that's why I started doing my current oFBis interface. Recently, I've mailed with a guy who had an interest in making an interface using the Allegro library, which apparently has GGI as a subtarget, plus a few others. I have never looked at the library, so I don't know anything about it myself. I'll try to write some documentation about how to put in a new interface in Zen. All my code is well documented, but it could still need a few words outside the source code. Greetings, Tomas

This would be nice :) Docs is a good thing.

There you go: http://www.nocrew.org/software/zen I contacted the author, he will be happy to help anyone doing such a thing. Another idea, maybe better, would be to hack lynx... Starting to play... *giggle* Anyways, I like Lynx (and w3m for that matter) ... but graphics have more potential than text for many things. And I don't really like most of the -network- layer of lynx although it works.. (or the processing layer. w3m is superior for handling html although it has interface weaknesses :) More later... G'day, eh? :) - Teunis
