Hmm... I wonder whether it supports shared memory. MiNT supports it
and most other X server support it. Now that I think of it, XAnim that
I compiled for MiNT-X (while I still got my other harddisk) had a
compilation option for that. Using shared memory would have made
XAnim several times faster I think... Who would be interested in
recompiling XAnim (new one with the mpeg and sound support)? :)

I just saw a new MGR faq on one of the Linux newsgroups, that's why
I asked :).

I just put up a page about W on my WWW pages. I'm still waiting
Tecshe's (and Kay's) answer to my mail about whether it would be
ok to put compiled binaries of W1R1->2 transition sources.

(Sorry Tesche and Kay to put pressure up, but I think W needs some
publicity! W-95 hype campaign is now going on (I hope that R2 doesn't
take as much time as WIN-95 took :)))).

Err, I should have added 'other _free_ ones'... Program has to have
sources available to count as 'real' software :).
