[even > windows perhaps.] If you submit some patches I'm sure Russ or I would be more than happy to take the time to consider them. I think, however, that we would like to retain the ability to support platforms that have only the standard X libraries. At least I would since there are machines of interest that I don't have root on and don't have SDL. In other words, another implementation of the interface would probably be warmly received. -WJ
