* wrote asm version of VGA driver for ELKS : : How much faster is this thing? Useable? It's definitely faster, and it works. I use it for the ELKS port, which runs on _slow_ systems. Greg

RE: new version of nano-X/microwindows
: Speaking of projects .. I have few questions regarding 0.84 release of : mwin. : : 1: nano-x won't compile here with -O switch. It has to be some sort of : copt error (it does compile actually but doesn't assemble/link). This : can be solved by calling bcc without -O for nanox/srvfunc.c to be : compiled. I'll look into this. It works on my system... ;-) : : 2: where is Al's "terminal emulator" ? nterm ? did you manage to get it : woring ? : It's in there, but you must unset the client/server switch, and link in nterm.o. See the Makefile and INSTALL files. : 3: does world.c and/or nclock.c actually work on any ELKS system ? All the demos run on ELKS, including the nterm. If running world, you must supply the .dat file in the current directory. See world.c for details. Greg

Heck, even easier than that, just run it under dosemu, or vmware, and get an X snapshot. Davey

Perhaps that should be tonight's project... Or are there any volunteers? Greg
