Oh, porting ancient DOS apps to *nix is not a trivial task, as they tend to do lot's of direct hw access and take lot's of assumptions that are in no way valid in *nix world. But your idea is interesting. As you're not experienced yet, you'll first have to learn a lot of things about C-programming. I'd like to offer you mentorship if you could help me in some of my own projects. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
