Greetings,

It has been suggested that I send the following though. People might
be interesed in the following screenshots :-)

This software is pretty much Keith Packard's twin software (LGPL), which
I've imported into git.. and rearranged a little.
(eg. split out backends. X11, SDL)

It's currently using the X11 display, but there is also an SDL backend.

Source is here...
git-web: http://git.mawsonlakes.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=paul/twin;a=summary
git: http://git.mawsonlakes.org/git/paul/twin/

It's not packaged very nicely (yet).. but it uses autoconf, can be
compiled, and the binaries copied to an XO and run. The 'libtwin.so.0'
and 'libtwin-x11.so.0' libraries need to be copied to somewhere where
the binary can find them. (Hint: LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

Suggestions, hacks, comments are welcome. Please don't bother Keith
directly (unless you know him).

Cheers,
Paul
