I realize that you're working hard on Llama, Win32Lib, and many other =

drawing a line, drawing a polygon, etc? Because if its the emulating, =
I'll be glad to do it, if it doesn't involve the nit-picky stuff (stuff =
like WndProc() and WinMain(), etc.) Let me know if I sound like I have =
no idea what I'm saying...I tend to do that.

My biggest problem was the suspicion that I could code the library much more
cleanly. To test this out, I'm putting together a Win32Lib/Llama library
that attempts to wrap GTK. I hope to have something to show in a week or so.
There are a lot of parts of GTK that I haven't delved very deeply into, such
as reading event data structures, and working with the gdk (graphics
library).
Ironically, most of my GTK coding is done under Windows - I've grabbed some
Win32 DLLs from the Win32 port of GIMP, and it seems to run just fine.
I still plan on supporting emulated controls, and the DOS port can't do
without them. But my current focus is to get something useful working in
Linux, and at the moment GTK seems a much more direct route than emulated
controls working through XLib.
