I just got a nice message from David Bell (the author of Mini-X), who had
seen Nano-X on Freshmeat and was surprised to see it contained his code ;)
Seemingly we don't have the latest version of his code, as he described a
much better way of doing the client/server interface than I implemented,
and then asked why I had dumped that in favour of a less advanced
method... Anyway, he is going to send me his latest version of the code.
He has a website at http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~dbell/, and his email
address is ####@####.####
Also, he gave me a pointer to a cool Mini-X program which displays a map
of the world, and lets you zoom on portions, move around it, etc. It's in
the form of a set of uuencoded email attachments, so I'll extract it and
put a tarball up on LinuxHacker for people to take a look at. Hopefully it
should be able to be made to work without too much difficulty, and perhaps
could be included as part of the collection of demonstration clients.
I also asked him what he thought about the licensing issue, I'll let you
know when I get a reply.
