> Lagprogramming sent me PMs and agreed to share it with you. Nice, it seems they are interested in some coopertion, then. But I'm not yet clear about what "Lagprogramming" really IS or what their gaol might be. Are they trying to develop another, competing, windowing system like X11 and Wayland, even if that should only support the framebuffer console (but you mentioned windows, seemingly multiple freefloating ones), or is it meant to create a different graphical user interface, somewhat in the way of Android's, or something different entirely?

Maybe the following information is useful to > you. If you need a system function free backend in MSEgui you need to Well, that's quite a lot of stuff. Is that meant as something like a list of required interface functions? The "gdf_" ones then might be the names their code is built on and wants to call, while the "gui_" ones look like the list of interface functions from msegui's Windows compatibility units, notably, in the "kernel" subdirectory, mseguiintf.inc, msegui.pas and windows/mseguiintf.pas, that I identified as the most probable anchors for adaptation to some other graphical system, although they list a host of other functions as well. Did they possibly just do a "grep" on functions and procedures starting with "gui_" for this second list? I didn't compare their list of functions with those I had found, though, so I cannot really be sure they're compatible. But it WILL require quite some more information concerning the programming interface to be able to attempt a viable implementation. Also, it's by no means clear yet what their system provides and what it doesn't, i.e. what restrictions have to be observed concerning library and system service use and other things. Much work to do yet, so. -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
