: If you know X better than win32 and if X layer in MWin is usable, it's OK!
I suggested that the Win32 version be used first, since it is currently
a bit more advanced than the Nano-X api, and it's exact, so there
aren't changes that need to be made to each API call.
However, it may be better to use the Nano-X api, since it allows multiple
processes to connect with the server. It just depends on how Kaffe is
to be used, in side another process or more standalone.
I'm going to be spending the next few weeks concentrating on getting
the Nano-X api up to speed for the multiple widget set ports underway.
Regards,
Greg
