Mutilple maps?

[Stanley Sutton]

I don't have access to a Mac, and I'm not familiar with it, so that
might be a problem.  When I try to run sdlconq, I get errors with the
font and cursor images.  I'm not sure what the problem is, as yet.

My main development platform is a SunBlade 1000, using either gcc or cc.

Documentation is always good. Please make sure that any changes you make

compile under both C and C++, however. This is how xconq works right
now,

and I would rather keep full C compatibility until we establish a
separate

C++ branch. Also, please note that we have three different interfaces:
mac,

tcltk and sdl. A kernel patch would need to be compatible with all three
of

them.
