Hi,

Mostly curious - I fired off the email a bit quickly, I found some of the answers in the contributors guide later on, rtfm would've been a fair reply.

No problem... anything I can do to rope you in to working on some new features? :)


I've been following the Y-windows mailing list where they talked about about an X compatibility layer, I was just considering how this would be done. I doubt I'd have the time to implement it. Since I use cygwin/x a lot seemed like a good template.

Interesting.


After a bit of hunting I found the miext/rootless code, I've been struggling to understand the Objective C code using it though. I'd be curious to read Torrey's draft on how it works (obviously I wouldn't redistribute it).

Something isn't right here. I haven't seen Objective C in the miext/rootless code and it is compiled with gcc, not an Objective C compiler... are you sure you are looking at a publically released version of the code for all platforms? I just took a look at rootlessWindow.c and it reads like straight C to me. There may be a few files that are conditionally compiled for Mac OS/X that use Objective C, in which case you could ignore those.
