From: Alex Holden ####@####.#### Date: 15 May 1999 09:43:36 -0000 Message-Id: <Pine.LNX.4.04.9905151025050.376-100000@hyperspace> I just got a nice message from David Bell (the author of Mini-X), who had seen Nano-X on Freshmeat and was surprised to see it contained his code ;) Seemingly we don't have the latest version of his code, as he described a much better way of doing the client/server interface than I implemented, and then asked why I had dumped that in favour of a less advanced method... Anyway, he is going to send me his latest version of the code. He has a website at http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~dbell/, and his email address is ####@####.#### Also, he gave me a pointer to a cool Mini-X program which displays a map of the world, and lets you zoom on portions, move around it, etc. It's in the form of a set of uuencoded email attachments, so I'll extract it and put a tarball up on LinuxHacker for people to take a look at. Hopefully it should be able to be made to work without too much difficulty, and perhaps could be included as part of the collection of demonstration clients. I also asked him what he thought about the licensing issue, I'll let you know when I get a reply. --------------- Linux- the choice of a GNU generation. -------------- : Alex Holden (M1CJD)- Caver, Programmer, Land Rover nut, Radio Ham : -------------------- http://www.linuxhacker.org/ -------------------- | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I will make the worldmap program run on nanoX, and I'd like to see any more sample mini-x programs that anyone may have. I think I've got a version of nano-X (v0.5) that will run any original mini-x programs with all api's implemented. (AND and OR drawing modes are still not done...)
