Hi. Nice to see people find it useful :-)

Yes, you are right. It would be nice to have a minimum version of fvwm()
window manager that could recognize ALT-F4 and some little more...

Anybody volunteers to help bring a decent X develop. environment to
DJGPP?

Things to do:
- fvwm() emulator
- missing functions in Xlibemu (mainly color stuff related to colormaps)

Regards,
Antonio.
