from a normal user account. The only exception is MS-WIN with ASPI
(a ISV product) installed.

There is a low probabilty that you can learn from software that itself did
avoid to learn from other existing implementaions.
Please start explaining why you did not use libscg which grants portability

After you did, it may make sense to give futher answers.
