<nod> I look forward to the Dos32Lib with each release and I hereby volunteer
to be a beta tester (I should have linux configured by then, I hope!). Dunno
about the WinMan thingy.

That might be nice. Though I've already seen some terrible graphics in
Linux. Apparently it is not so easy to do there?

Seems like it should be possible. After all, it's C code, right? I mean,
back some time ago, I seem to recall being told how C was so portable...
Heck, that was the reason I got into it to begin with. I had an old (don't

my wonderful new 8086 machine. ;')
