It was developped under NeXT and then released under DOS. Therefore porting to X should not be impossible. Why they didn't use svgalib I don't know (although X will probably allow it to run under any OS that uses Xfree86.). Whatever the story, it _is_ happening and hopefully will be here soon. -- [==================================================================] [ Kevin Lentin |___/~\__/~\___/~~~~\__/~\__/~\_| ] [ kevinl@bruce.cs.monash.edu.au |___/~\/~\_____/~\______/~\/~\__| ] [ Macintrash: 'Just say NO!' |___/~\__/~\___/~~~~\____/~~\___| ] [==================================================================]
