It was at the point where a few simple things ran (mahjongg, for example). One of my problems was that I don't have WinDoze installed, I just loaded a bunch of WinDoze apps into a directory and referenced it. This may be one reason why I was having so many difficulties :) I think Sujal Patel has some patches squirreled away someplace, but I can't remeber against which version of Willows they were made. Feel free to jump in with both feet and finish the port :-) --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) Gary.Jennejohn@munich.netsurf.de (play) gj@freebsd.org
