nanogui: Thread: Microwindows 0.83 released

MicroWindows version 0.83 is released at

	ftp://microwindows.censoft.com/pub/microwindows


This version of MicroWindows is released in tandem with Al Riddoch's ELKS v0.78,
which fixes a kernel select() bug with certain mice.

The ChangeLog for this version is:
Version 0.83 - 14th July 1999 - ####@####.####
	* wrote sample untested hercules driver for ELKS
	* tweaked window repaint code to paint child windows last for ELKS
	* fixed code for pass-by-structure for bcc/ELKS
	* added TEST= for select() code in ELKS

I'm looking for test volunteers for the new hercules graphics driver.  This version
runs well with ELKS and the window move problem in ELKS is also fixed.

Please send comments and bug reports go ####@####.#### or the ELKS mailing list.

Do we need your bcc fixes to make it work?

I don't suppose there's any chance of a pre-built disk
image, is there?

	No, I haven't published my ansi bcc or cross compilation stuff yet.

I can't create them until tomorrow, but I could build an images.zip I suppose.

That's kind of what I thought.  Cheers.

That would be cool.

Thanks for the great work.

I have built and tested 0.83, and it runs with no problems on my system. I
only had to make the standard Makefile, and mouse settings changes.

Responsiveness under nano-X is now much better. The mouse no longer lags
when it is drawing in the top two windows. Screen updates in microwindows
loook much nicer too. Good job all round.
