Great! I've been incredibly impressed with David's original work.
I will make the worldmap program run on nanoX, and I'd like to see any more
sample mini-x programs that anyone may have. I think I've got a version
of nano-X (v0.5) that will run any original mini-x programs with all
api's implemented. (AND and OR drawing modes are still not done...)
