- Well, a couple of months ago I was working on this on ISC 3.0 (probably not
- very different from ISC2.2?).
-
- I got the libraries to compile and also got several of the example programs
- to compile and run. Thomas Grennefors submitted xminesweeper to
- comp.sources.games that uses Xview. This game compiled and runs just fine.
- Otherwise, I haven't any testing of my port, so there are surely many bugs
- left to be found.
-
- There is still some patching to be able to get olwm running, and I never
- got pty's to work. You need pty's for TERMSW and programs such as cmdtool.
-
- The bad news is I have lost interest in this project. I am using Motif and
- Motif++ bindings these days.
-
- If you (Thomas) would like, I can mail you the patches of what I have so far.
-
- Best wishes,
- Andy
