I started off with the idea of a header file with some dummy X structures and
#defines which could be used with a glue library to map the X calls to nano-X.
The more I work on it, however, the more I realise that this is not going to
be
possible. Xlib has far more functions than nano-X and the associated data
structures are a lot more complex. VNC is a fairly simple X application but
even so I am having trouble mapping some of the functions to nano-X.
My current plan is to continue with the 'glue' approach for a while to get a
better idea of what is or isn't possible and then possibly try a 'native'
nano-X version for comparison.
I will make the code available on the web after I get it working a bit better.
George
