- Hi!
-
- These programs were downloaded from public.x.org some days ago and
- I have used them to test my libX11.lib, and after a couple of
- changes (a lot actually..) I was able to compile and run them without
- changing a single line of code in the original source!
-
- How useful is this? Beats me, but I find it immensly amusing!
-
- I have added a couple of snapshots from the same programs compiled
- and run on a X11 workstation. And the observant viewer may notice
- a couple of slight differences..
-
- So what next?
-
- I thought I may make a buck or two from this libX11.lib, and a
- couple of questions arises:
-
- How good does it have to be before anyone would want to register
- it? And how much would you be willing to pay for it?
-
- Registering a link library may sound rather strange, is there
- any other options that may be worth considering?
-
- (and no. I won't release libX11.lib free of charge. I don't
- currently run a software charity organization, nor is it likely
- I will do so in the near future. (being unemployed and broke..))
-
- But I will continue to improve the library and trying to compile
- other programs.
-
- Status on some other programs I am working on:
-
- Xanim is SLOW!. And there is still a couple of functions that need to
- be improved in order for it to show all anims correctly.
- Since it is so slow an alternative use of the program is to
- make it into a converter by saving each frame as they are
- shown on the screen.
-
- Xv: still waiting for a word from John Bradley (preferably yes..)
- in order to upload it to aminet.
-
- Fractint: Dead or alive? Hard to tell..(uploading 2.6 along this upload)
