I was just wondering what is happening with the Bogl code in Nano-X?
How far are we away from being able to use an unmodified Bogl library?
The reason I ask is that I would like to make a NanoGUI demo disk which
uses the VGA16 driver; I have the boot disk setup with a VGA16 frame
buffer okay, but the VGA16 driver in Nano-X doesn't work any more...
Is there anything I can do to help things along myself?

BTW, since Greg has volunteered to clean up all the loose ends I mentioned
in an earlier mail, I'm working on rewriting the networking code according
to David's suggestions.

On the subject of changes, I think we should have several pre-5 releases
before we release an official new version this time, and make sure
everything works properly before we release it. Since I've been having
some problems getting the CVS server to behave, and Greg doesn't want to
use it anyway, I'll have to juggle the patches myself and put up new
pre-releases whenever I get a few new things working together.

Okay, I'd like to make up a "To do for V0.5" list. So far I have:
Rewrite networking code.
Make Nano-X work with the latest Bogl.
Tidy up code in general.
Make whatever API changes are needed to support GDK.
Implement a basic WM API.
Document the APIs.
Make demo disk.

I'd like to hear suggestions as to what else people think should be done
before the 0.5 release.

I'll discuss the WM and GDK API stuff in seperate mails on the subject
(note that I'm not suggesting writing a WM or porting GDK, just getting
the necessary changes over with now, so that someone can do it before
Nano-X-0.6).
