thanks ;-) Nice to see I've made somebody else happy too....
I sent Eero the bits I've changed, but I think he's a bit busy with other things
at the moment.
You can get my changes from http://bvsd.k12.co.us/~oddie/prog/macw.tar.z.
All files go inside server directory except for `MacMiNT' which is a config
file and `README' with which you may do as you like :)
You'll then also need the complete W1R4 source tree and a normal MacMiNT
setup with the developer tools installed. Also you need MiNTNet with at
least the loopback interface installed, and an /etc/passwd file with at least
an entry for `root'.
(The developer tools included with MacMiNT _don't_ work on Apple's most recent headers.
I'll upload my new header-processing scripts soon, maybe tomorrow.)

If your version of make doesn't understand `+=' operator, you need to a little
bit of hand-editing of the server/graph makefile. 

Change to the /mint/wws directory, copy configs/MacMiNT to .config, and type
`make all'. When it finishs building (hopefully), cd to the server directory
and type `kill  1;rm /tmp/wserver;wserver >& log' If your menubar disappears
and a hatch pattern appears on the screen, it worked. (Praying helps.)
Oh, you must have your monitor in black and white mode before running it.

Hope I didn't forget anything...good luck...

OK, but I'd like to wait until I'm sure it runs on machines other than my own.
