It appears to be robust, but still has a few graphics bugs and performance is pretty poor (apart from rectangle drawing which is about 10* faster than my ET4000 card :-). If you have a Orchid or Astix S3 card, and are interested in helping develop this server then mail me, and pick up the server. If you don't have time/ interest then wait a while, I would expect a lot of changes over the next few weeks. -- Jon <jon@robots.ox.ac.uk> I'm not playing with my computer, I'm working!
