Hope pixel graphics on Linux won't be important. Tho, it'd be nice to have vi
edit like ed, no?

Impressive. That is pretty major stuff. What large differences are there between
GNU C and WATCOM C, aside from platforms?

What about to C, Tck, etc?

kernel requirements? (I'm using RH5/Kernel 2.0.36/X 3.3.3/KDE 1.1.x)

Shared libs in linux, I assume, is the .c/.h/.obj files, right? not DLLs, like
in Winb10w$, right? Should be rather easy to do that, long as you know where all
the paths are.
And just wonderin', will this be considered for Open source/Linux? And what
about installation routines?
